Dynamic content is not much different from any other content.
Except ... the old default config for Squid forced non-caching for it.
You probably want to turn that off.
   http://wiki.squid-cache.org/ConfigExamples/DynamicContent

Facebook is rather specific in it's non-cachability:
    http://redbot.org/?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2F

They specify that all data is:
  - "private" == cannot be stored by Squid, a 'shared' cache.
  - "no-store" == cannot legally be stored on any disk media.
  - "no-cache" == cannot legally be stored in temporary form by Internet
caches.
  - "Pragma: no-cache" == old form repeating the above just in case the
proxy was a bit old.
  - Expires: mid 1997.

Convince the domain owner that its a good thing to do.
