URL rewrites - IBM Lotus Domino

> * http://www.isku.lt/<replication id>?OpenDataBase

In this case i dont need to map those different types but those i copied, 
they are actual URL that web site produces in certain situation, eg. link 
in the site that needs to go to new site. But as they are URL args in 
nature and contains special characters etc, like spaces, / or \ chars, 
etc. i wonder how in actually rewrite those URLs in nginx, its kinda 
difficult because most part of URL is arguments.
