hi.
just a quick question.
if there is some dynamic content on your sidebar, why not make that into 
a dynamic sidebar component, or just add it via the current static 
component.

ie put something like
<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/linktracker.js" ></script>
<script>
document.write("foobar")
</script>

or just use a Iframe in there...
no need to regenerate the entire page I would think.
