I've only been testing out nginx for about a week. This is my plan as 
well. So far, I have this working with two IPs (one IP virtual host and 
the main IP) on a couple of development systems.

Pretty easy once I read the documentation right.

I'm using an rpm for Fedora from the EPEL repository on CentOS 5. This 
seems to have a few things compiled in -- like SSL support -- that the 
nginx docs suggest are not the default compile, but which have made life 
easier.

Take care,
