putting stupid search engine urls back

[AMP Admin]

I think something's missing from that so I've tried the following but no
luck.  Thoughts?

location ~ ^.*-t([0-9]+).html$ {
	fastcgi_index			index.php;
	fastcgi_pass			127.0.0.1:2000;
	include				fastcgi_params;
	fastcgi_intercept_errors	On;
	fastcgi_ignore_client_abort	On;
	fastcgi_buffer_size   		128k;
	fastcgi_buffers       		4 128k;	
	rewrite ~ ^.*-t([0-9]+).html$ /path/to/stuff/showthread.php?t=$1
last;
    }

    location ~ ^.*-t([0-9]+).html$ {
       fastcgi_pass   ...;
       fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME  
/path/to/document/root/showthread.php?t=$1;
    }
}

Is one possibility.

If the document root changes, then you might want to use the 
$document_root variable like:

fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME  $document_root/showthread.php?t=$1;

but if you can put it in statically, it'll be slightly better 
performace-wise.

Note, the above regex assumes that all the articles have 
-t[thread_number] at the end.
