I have been tasked with hooking up Wordpress to nginx. The basic setup was easy enough. However, I'm running into some problems with the rewrites. I've been asked to rewrite from the static permalink format...

wordpress is pretty smart in handling rewrites

here's example for wordpress installation in a root of a domain:

server {
  listen 80;
  server_name my.blog.com;
  location ~ ^/.*\.php$ {
    root /srv/http/wordpress;
    fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9100;
    fastcgi_index index.php;
    fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $request_filename;
    include fastcgi_params;
  }
  location / {
    index index.php;
    root /srv/http/wordpress;
    try_files $uri /index.php;
    expires max;
  }
}
