We do the same thing (useing Informix appage builder).  On the backend we 
just have a series of perl scripts that use the HTML modules to retreive the 
page from the server and write it out to disk.  It may not be as clean but it 
works well. (25,000+ pages rebuild a day)

Even simpler would be to use something like wget.
