Just to add to Ezra's config file, checkout a lengthy post at
http://www.opensourcery.co.za/2008/05/15/nginx-reading-the-fine-print/
on some fine print for the proxy_next_upstream directive. This is
probably only applicable to Rails apps that have long running
requests, like intensive reports or integration into slow third party
systems...
