directory based virtual host proxy.

[Brandon Hoult]

I posted the below earlier, but nobody has replied.  I think I found the
solution to part of my problem but my solution introduces a new issue.

I added the following directive to pass
http://my.domain.com/user_management/ to the correct mongrel cluster.

location /user_management_dev/ {
        root /var/www/rails/user_management/current/;
        rewrite /user_management_dev(.*) $1;
        proxy_pass http://user_management_prod;
        break;
}

The problem is that now the application sees it's url as being
http://my.domain.com so all the links inside the rails application don't go
anywhere.  Is there a way to tell the proxied application that it needs to
add "/user_management" to the end of it's host name?
