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

[Mike Javorski]

I've gotten things to work OK w/ the following. It means I can't have
more than one type of directory index, but it's better than nothing.
Thanks for the suggestions all, and Igor, thanks for nginx period :-).

   server {
       listen  80;
       root    /website/htdocs;
       index   index.php;
       fastcgi_index   index.php;
       include     /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;

       location / {
           proxy_pass http://static-pool/website/htdocs/;
       }

       location ~ (\.php|/)$ {
           fastcgi_pass    php-fcgi-pool;
       }
