First off, great work and Thank You!
I have same issue as the original support request, but on Drupal 6.2.
---
"I did setup a random quote block on the front page of my website, for the authenticated users the random quote gets updated correctly (a new random quote is being shown) every time the frontpage is being reloaded, but for anonymous users always the same quote is being shown."
---

A little more info:
- Drupal 6.2
- Quotes-6.x-1.1-alpha5
- Apache 1.3.41
- PHP 5.2.6

Works great when logged in.
When anonymous, block does not pull new random quote on or any nodes ...works as expected on my /contact page however, go figure. Maybe that strangeness will suggest something that would make sense to you :)
Have tried disable all cache in Drupal, clearing cache, etc. Same effect.

Although not a programmer, I can assist techincally in any way you may need to diagnose, let me know if I can help.

Ah, it would appear this is a core bug in the blocks table not being updated. http://drupal.org/node/235673

Did some more debugging. When page caching is enabled, the block code doesn't even get called, regardless of the block_cache setting.

I've finally come to the conclusion that this cannot be fixed until there are changes in core. Sorry.
