I attached some fiddler logs generated from chrome.  When the etag is "" it never uses the cache.  When it has a generated etag it will use the cache correctly.  What we were trying to do was disable IIS6 from generating etags by setting the etag to "".  It seems when other browsers get an empty etag they ignore the etag and use the max-age.  Honestly, I'm not sure what browser is actually behaving 'correctly' :).
