    location ~ ^/([0-9a-zA-Z\/\-\_\@]+)$ {
      fastcgi_pass  127.0.0.1:9000;
      fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME
                    /home/mylinuxuser/www/live/mysite.com/index.php;
      fastcgi_param QUERY_STRING    demand=$uri;
      include /usr/local/nginx/conf/fastcgi_params0;
    }

    location / {
      fastcgi_pass  127.0.0.1:9000;
      fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME
                    /home/mylinuxuser/www/live/mysite.com/index.php;
      include /usr/local/nginx/conf/fastcgi_params;
    }

fastcgi_params0 is copy of fastcgi_params without QUERY_STRING parameter.
