Controlling what gets refreshed

Is there anyway to control what gets updated/looked at when I run a refresh? I'm running the refresh from the command line and am dealing with some potentially huge databases. I would like to specify what pages get refreshed and have only those pages and links found on those pages refreshed. I am using the URL file specify the pages, but other pages are getting refreshed/looked at as the refresh times expire. Is there some setting I'm missing or do I need to hack the dowalk script. I started playing with changing the script and did not have much success.

Thanks for your help.

When I created a new profile, I set the default/min/max refresh time to be 1 year and did a complete walk. After that, I changed the nextcheck date for about 3% of rows in html table to 5 years instead of 1 year since I never want to refresh those pages.

What if I now want to do a weekly refresh of those 97% pages but never touch the 3% percent that has nextcheck set to 5 years. How to do that?

So, min/max/default directly corresponds to NextCheck but will not change it in the database for already walked pages but new pages will have the NextCheck set to 1 week.

Am I right?
