The basics of tmpfs are here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tmpfs

Here's my config with most comments and white-space trimmed out:

		if ($uri ~* \.(gif|jpg|jpeg|png|pdf|swf|flv|mp3|mp4|wmv)$) {set $myae "";}

Thanks!!!!

So this is only caching gif|jpg|jpeg|png|pdf|swf|flv|mp3|mp4|wmv?  That's almost exactly what I want.

Upstream backend is the ip address of what nginx is running on?  This box has 4 IPs for 4 different sites, should I list them all in upstream backend?
