No, that's not what I want. It's not a problem for us that robots
index all the content of our website. I just want them to not put
garbage into our cache.
So they should be able to access every page of the site, using cache
or not, but they shouldn't be able to put the generated pages in the
cache so that they don't pollute the cache.

I agree. That's why it's not what I'm asking for :).

Thanks for your help.
