You don't have to clear the entire cache to force the reload of a page: as
the Netscape manual says:

Reload 
    . If you press the Reload button while holding  down the Shift key
(Option key on Macintosh), Netscape retrieves a fresh version from the
network server regardless of whether the page has been updated (the cache is
not used).
