You will never solve it entirely as long as the game is based on Javascript. (Since anyone can read it/open it and see how the scores are submitted) You can only create some barriers.(make your code difficult to read, use domain cookies, etc)

Probably the none-Domino environment is supporting .asp .jsp .php or cgi. You would then be able to do it using the backend..
Then you can let the "Game-server" submit the scores into the "Score-server".

HTTP_REFERER is not Database related.
But the HTTP_REFERER is NOT secure. Many HTTP talking tools allow you to manually set the HTTP_REFERER since the client is sending this information.

We are doing the same thing but then use flash (where the source is more difficult to access) and also send a URL to add a score. But we also include an authentication parameter (some algorythm that you can create yourself)
