Thanks Brian, that *almost* works (although I don't like repeating [most 
of] the fastcgi config..)

But I also need to pass *part* of the original path as a query string. I 
tried to following :

location @fallback {
       fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
       include fastcgi_params;
       fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /home/stelios/myapp/index.php;
       fastcgi_param  QUERY_STRING  u=$uri&$args;
}


which works but now for the url ".../myapp/users" the script gets a 
query string like this: "u=/myapp/users" whereas I want it to be 
"u=/users" (i.e. remove the "base" path). Is there any simple solution 
to that? (e.g. can we pass parameters to a named location?)

Thanks!
