In that case you should be using Cache-Control:max-age=NN instead where
the NN being your desired TTL in seconds. This is a *lot* simpler and
faster to deliver than calculating the timestamps needed for valid
Expires header.

Also, are you aware that current Squid versions can generate redirects
(custom headers included) based on output from an external_acl_type helper?
 A helper to lookup your permissions system plus a few extra squid.conf
settings would be a lot simpler in terms of traffic processing and
bandwidth consumption than sending everything through an external ICAP
service.
