Because ASP pages can make decisions on what to return depending on 
browser-specific or IP specific information? I have never seen ASP, but if its 
similar to Apache's SHTML, then that would be a problem ... caches *cannot* 
cache browser-specific content and then return it to all browsers hitting that 
cache. That would return incorrect content and the pages wouldn't display 
properly.
