expression engine + fast-cgi + nginx

[sinarababni]

hi,

I tried the installing fast-cgi on a very busy expression engine blog installation (100,000+ hits/day) and I would end up with way too many cgi processes??? However when I tried reverse nginx as reverse proxy over apache running php, I get amazing results. Almost all the load (http requests) stay on nginx which is amazing to watch :)

I used standard configurations found on wiki.nginx.org

any experiences or ideas?
