Just configure different locations for urls you want to be cached
and urls you don't want to. E.g.

location / {
proxy_pass http://...

# cache everything here
proxy_cache blah;
...
}

location /do-not-cache-here {
proxy_pass http://...
}

See http://wiki.nginx.org/NginxHttpCoreModule#location for details
about locations.
