When using CacheDuration it should do caching based on parameters by default.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Setup a WebService using CacheDuration that takes a parameter and returns a
random number.
2. Call the WebService with two different parameters multiple times within the
CacheDuration.
Actual Results:  
The number returned is the same cached value for both parameters passed in.

Expected Results:  
There should be a cached number for each of the unique parameters passed in.

I have not been able to verify this on an IIS server but here are some of the
websites where I determined the behavior from:

4) Caching Web Service: Like ASP .Net pages, ASP .Net services support output
caching, because on the first request web service has be compiled. The use of
caching for web services is configured on a method-by-method basis through the
use of the WebMethod attribute's CacheDuration property. Caching variation
based on the parameters supplied to the method is supported by default.
<WebMethod (CacheDuration:=30)>

http://www.docstoc.com/docs/7063666/ASPNet-Bible

Output caching works correctly even if the method requires one or more
arguments that can vary between requests.  In this case, the output is cached
for each unique combination of arguments supplied to the method.  If the method
has been called with identical parameters to a previous request, the response
is obtained from the output cache; otherwise, the method is executed normally.
