Have you considered using deterministic S3 object keys (for example,
using a hash)?  This allows you to avoid the database entirely.  You
could add hash support to the rewrite module.

nginx's proxy module does not block.  If your S3 objects are not
publicly readable then you could modify the proxy module to support S3
request signing.
