Issue w/ nginx in hybrid static/php load balancer scenario

[Mike Javorski]

Thanks Denis. The problem w/ your solution is there is lots of
directories. I don't want to have to create entries for each. I
suppose I could to a regex for .*/$ but some of the directories have
index.html instead of index.php, and I need to support that as well
:-(.

Any other options/suggestions?
