Do you still have those sample acls from the sample conf file for
  ...
  no_cache deny QUERY

If all your asp output has ? in it, then the standard query pattern
will match that and override the cacheability.

You might need to make a previous acl to match the URL for your site
before it hits that no_cache rule; something vaguely like:

  acl MYASP ... www.mysite.com/.*asp?
  ...
  no_cache allow MYASP
  no_cache deny QUERY

(If this is the problem, check my syntax, don't count on my having it
right!)
