Correct, we don't support a writable cache because that's not what a cache is all about. Does the origin support writes? If so, we could potentially provide a cache passthrough option. Otherwise, if the readable and writable path differ, he could have run two proxies -- one caching for read access and a passthru proxy for writing then setup a redirect directive in the primary proxy (i.e. the one that will be initially used) to direct writes to the passthru proxy based on path.
