Will this approach work for fcgi too? I am trying to stay apache-free. Also 
the app (Drupal-5 hacked) does not support reverse proxy without careful 
patching.

Is there any performance comparison for nginx with fcgi/php vs apache/mod-
php? 
My reasoning was that since I don't need a full blown web server in the 
back, it better just be a php processor, so I went the fcgi route. f means 
fast, doesn't it?
