OutputCache in web.config?

[=?iso-8859-1?q?Nils Hedstr=f6m]

I have noticed that it is possible to create a small "DOS"-attach in IE but
pressing the reload-button (this generates 30-50 requests/second). I want
to protect my ASP.NET-site from this kind of use by caching the output of
all aspx-pages for 1 or 2 seconds.

One way of accomplishing this is to put the following line in every aspx-file.
<%@ OutputCache Duration="2" VaryByParam="*" location="client" %>

But is there any way I can accomplish this without editing every aspx-file?
Like putting something in the web.config.
I guess it would be possible to let all the aspx-pages inherit from a custom
class that sets this attribute programmatically but at the moment I cannot
do that

In 2.0 you can programatically set the output cache which would make this
easy...i know of know easy way to do this in 1.1 except for maybe making
some use of the HttpResponse.Cache property:

you could create a base page which all pages in your site inherit from and
set the cacheability in it's pagE_load event...not the same as output
caching though..
