location /assets/ {  
if ($uri ~ “^/assets/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)(/.+)”) {  
#$1 is hash, $2 is uri  
set $memcached\_key “$1\_$2”;  
memcached\_pass localhost:11211;

#fallback if not in memcached  
error\_page 404 =200  
/libraries/domain/asset\_filter/client/static.php?hash=$1&uri=$2;  
}  
}

This works but is there a better way?
