Newbie questions about nginx (moving from apache)

[pk899]

Some problems with your recommendation, Igor. 

1. There is no directive like "gzip_static". 

2. The proxy_pass that you recommend above -- this does a full 301
redirect to Apache! 

This is really not the solution I am after. 

So, back to my first question, how do I pass the baton from Apache
(which really needs to be my first front server because of all the
features) only for the static files to nginx? 

Thanks.
