Nginx proxying to Apache: what about mod_rewrite?

[illarra]

By the way, this is a bigger snippet of my nginx.conf file, showing how I'm dealing with statics.
I just need to connect properly nginx and Apache, as the statics are server via another domain...

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;
    location / {
        #proxy to Apache
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8030;
    }
}


Thanks!
