disable symlink, possible?

[Avleen Vig]

It's not possible. Trying to do so would be a major performance hit.
With a feature like this, nginx would have to call stat() on every  
element in the path to make sure it's not a symlink.
So instead of one stat() on /usr/local/www/domain/htdocs/dir/foo/bar/ 
index.html, nginx would have to do nine!

Madness :)
