Thanks for this great information. I'm stuck at the jury duty cattle call this morning but will try to put this into action later.

Take care with putting this into action -- the external homepage archives constantly suck in the latest version of any precoded module on the page ... so for example, this should show the Iowa Caucuses, but shows nearly two months later instead:

http://www.nytimes.com/indexes/2012/01/03/

... a misstep we later fixed. For what it's worth, there's also an internal version of the homepage archive that doesn't suffer from this problem, and is snapshotted hourly.

So even all the external stylesheets/js are (relatively) preserved? That's pretty slick...was this something that was retroactively applied, or something that's existed since early iterations of the CMS?
