Hey Jonathan-


	Here is my proxy settings:

       proxy_set_header  X-Real-IP  $remote_addr;
       proxy_set_header  X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
       proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
       proxy_redirect false;
       proxy_max_temp_file_size 0;


the proxy_max_temp_file_size 0; one is the ticket. That will stop it  
from buffering to disk.
