Ah, nice! Thanks.

Good lord. ;-) Thanks heaps for your explanation -- looks like using rewrite
for the supercache file ends up being the neatest solution... the error_page
one just feels icky to me. :-)

(If ever there were a list of posts documenting the "Zen of Nginx", this one
easily qualifies!)

Thanks again,
