Wouldn't it be better to just explicitly set Cache-Control headers for
anonymous calls to the dynamic pages, and then let nginx proxy_cache
handle serviing the static pages to anonymous users? That's the way
Wikipedia does it (with Squid and Apache, not nginx).

Using proxy_cache, you get the same or better performance, and you're
not generating and handling static versions of files that nobody is
looking for...
