sample.server.com:

   proxy_cache_path  /path/to/cache  levels=1:2  keys_zone=STATIC:10m
                     inactive=1h;

   server {

       location /static/ {
           proxy_pass             http://sample.static.com;
           proxy_cache            STATIC;
           proxy_cache_valid      1d;
           proxy_cache_use_stale  error timeout invalid_header updating;
       }

sample.static.com:

   server {

       location /static/ {
           root  /path/to/files;
       }
