How to set Cache control for external cloud files

Hey Guys,I was bent on improving my page speed factors and yesterday I got some cloud space on rackspacecloud. Now before this i was serving static content from a cookieless domain with proper cache control through htaccess. Now after I moved on to cloud my htaccess does not control the cloud files. There is a TTL parameter on rackspace that sets values for how long the files should stay on CDN. That value reflects on my Page Speed settings (google + firebug). Now the default setting can me maximum 72 hours but I need something above 7 days. I need some api for that and its kinda complex..Is there any way I can enforce cache control on my cloud files? what do these query strings do domain.com/file.css?cache=0.54454334 ???Do they achieve what I am looking for? Any help is appreciated.
