        location / {
            error_page  404 = @fallback;
        }

        location @fallback {
            fastcgi_pass   ...
            fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  /path/to/frontend.php;
            fastcgi_param  QUERY_STRING     control_path=$uri;
            ...
        }

        location /admin {
            allow   1.2.3.4;
            deny    all;
            error_page  404 = @admin;
        }

        location @admin {
            fastcgi_pass   ...
            fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  /path/to/admin.php;
            fastcgi_param  QUERY_STRING     control_path=$uri;
            ...
        }
