Thanks you Igor, that is what I thought.  FastCGI is not a problem as 
I can have the Application set the Expires headers correctly in that case.

My problem is that I have things in the "location /" block that need 
to act on /r1234123/... requests after they have been rewritten.  This 
is not possible if I want to retain the expires setting in the 
"location ~ /^r[0-9]+/" block.

I will duplicate the configuration in "location /" to the other 
location block.  That should work, thanks!
