Best way to use PHP with nginx?

[Jérôme Loyet]

Hi,

Is there a php-fastcgi process launcher and controller at the same time ?
Because php-fastcgi or spwan-fcgi just launches N php children, N constant.
I'm looking for a way to spawn fastcgi process depending on the number
of concurent requests ... has anyone heard about something like that ?
