Thanks for the prompt reply - much appreciated. This confirmed what my experimentation showed, so I've come up with a solution that, while not quite ideal, seems to be working.
I've created a rewrite matching the "user_score" portion of the uri, and send only these requests to a new virtual host, which in turn is home to the cache. So far, it seems to be working. I admit that it's probably not an optimal solution, but it's reducing load on the back-end cluster significantly. Once again, thanks for the help!
