URL rewrite on Apache is a good way to make them easier for the bots.
To the best of my knowledge he'll need to use something else since his site is .asp and most likely on a windoze server, unless I've missed something. There is an analogous function (IIS?) on an .asp server, but I understand it's not as easy to use or as flexible as mod rewrite on Apache.

There is another way around this. You say that you have to fill out a form to get a listing of products. Can you set up a script that takes your 100 or so most popular "searches" that will list the actual products available? What we do at EPage Classifieds (where we have a similar issue with transitory content and a database driven site) is we created an area that can be indexed that replicates popular searches.
This might be your best bet. You only need to create the sitemap once and it will always pull up the most recent items for those searches. Pretty clever.
