here's some theory articles on doing it with Apache Caching and PHP:

Not sure how you'd apply that to ASP though, I'll back quietly away at
this point....

but not before offering this that I found on Google:

http://www.xde.net/product_xqasp.htm

"XQASP is available as a high performance NT IIS 3.0+ C++ or Unix Java
filter primarily intended for database driven catalog type web sites
seeking to increase exposure by allowing spidering search engines such
as AltaVista, Google, Hotbot, InfoSeek, Lycos, Northern Light and Web
Crawler to index the values behind a querystring. e.g.
somepage.asp?indexthis=123 "
