Disallowing a page to be cached

[David C. Holley]

Is there a way to disallow a page from being cached? I'm about to
introduce functionality that will not work properly if the person uses
the 'BACK' button on their browser and would like to ensure that they
cannot. I tried using <% response.expires = -1 %> thinking that it would
work, however it only ensures that another request has to be sent to the
server. Any ideas other than simply giving the user a message NOT to
use the back button?

Here's a link to the functionality. It uses session variables to produce
a dynamic rate quote. (Tip use WDW in the Description/Keyword search).
