No. Squid will cache dynamic pages the same as static ones. Most dynamic
pages don't have private set. Just short max-ages or no cache-controls
at all.

The biggest obstacle is old legacy entries in squid.conf from the days
when dynamic pages were very cache-unfriendly.

  - Drop the QUERY acl
  - Drop the cache lines that use QUERY
  - Add "refresh_pattern (/cgi-bin/|\?) 0 0% 0" just above the final "."
refresh_pattern.

Squid should now happily cache dynamic pages according to RFC2616.
