Nginx proxying to Apache: what about mod_rewrite?

[illarra]

This is how I solved it finally.
I use nginx for the domain redirect:

server {
    listen 0.0.0.0:80;
    server_name static.domain.com;
    location / {
        root /home/web/static/;
        expires 40d;
        add_header Cache-Control public;
    }
}
server {
    listen 0.0.0.0:80;
    server_name domain.com www.domain.com;
    if ( $host != 'domain.com' ) {
        rewrite ^/(.*)$ http://domain.com/$1 permanent;
    }
    location / {
        # mod_rewrite in apache
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8030;
    }
}

And the real rewrite is in Apache.
As this domain only deals with dynamic content, I can do it this way:


ServerName domain.com
ServerAlias www.domain.com
DocumentRoot /home/www

    Options -Indexes IncludesNOEXEC FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php$1?%{QUERY_STRING} 


Thanks for your help!
