simple way:

server {
  listen 80;
  server_name  mysite.com.vmware;

  access_log  /usr/local/nginx/logs/mysite.com.access.log;
  error_log /usr/local/nginx/logs/mysite.com.error.log;

  root /home/mylinuxuser/www/live/mysite.com;
  index index.php;

  location ~ ^/[0-9a-zA-Z/\-_@]+$ {
    rewrite ^/([0-9a-zA-Z/\-_@]+)$ /index.php?demand=$1 last;
  }
  location ~ \.php$ {
    fastcgi_pass  127.0.0.1:9000;
    fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $request_filename;
    include /usr/local/nginx/conf/fastcgi_params;
  }
}

faster way:

server {
  listen 80;
  server_name  mysite.com.vmware;

  access_log  /usr/local/nginx/logs/mysite.com.access.log;
  error_log /usr/local/nginx/logs/mysite.com.error.log;

  root /home/mylinuxuser/www/live/mysite.com;
  index index.php;

  location ~ ^/[0-9a-zA-Z/\-_@]+)$ {
    fastcgi_pass  127.0.0.1:9000;
    fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME
/home/mylinuxuser/www/live/domain.com/index.php;
    fastcgi_param QUERY_STRING      demand=$1;
    include /usr/local/nginx/conf/fastcgi_params0;
  }
  location ~ \.php$ {
    fastcgi_pass  127.0.0.1:9000;
    fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $request_filename;
    include /usr/local/nginx/conf/fastcgi_params;
  }
}
