Not really :-) What if the directory is very large? Output Cache is RAM bound.
A generator would still rock. Though I agree in full - I would also try using the Output Cache first. Otherwise a program to regenerate the static HTML is needed.

See: ms-help://MS.VSCC/MS.MSDNVS/cpgenref/html/cpconoutputcache.htm in the online docs. You put this at the top of an ASPX page: <%@ OutputCache Duration="#ofseconds" VaryByParam="*" %> and the page will have a "snapshot" generated the 1st time somebody hits it, and then subsequent requests are served by the snapshot (i.e. no subsequent db hit). If you want to modify the page then the snapshot will be automatically regenerated on the next hit -- neat eh?
