Nginx proxying to Apache: what about mod_rewrite?

You could do either, but you may as well do it in nginx and save Apache the
effort. As a bonus, you can get nginx to serve static files before it passes
the rewritten request to Apache:

  try_files  $uri $uri/  /index.php?r=$request_uri;

Two birds. One stone. :-)
