location regex issue

[Boyko Yordanov]

Guys,

Further issue: 

I tried to use around 2000 pages in the same location block like this:

location ~* (^/browse|^/page2|^/page3|... etc ^/page2000) {

And of-course I'm getting:

nginx: [emerg] too long parameter 

Can I catch all these pages with a single location directive or I should separate them in different locations? Also, what is the allowed size for location parameter?
