Make the reply cachable with a explicit expiry time or cache-control
max-age TTL, and don't use no_cache to block caching of queries.

If changing the server to return cachable replies is not an option, then
things can be forced to be cached with help of the min age in
refresh_pattern rules in squid.conf.
