Yes, that part works.

If you *really* want to do it that way, it would be something like

    try_files /no-such-file @cache;

But you probably don't want to do it that way.

If you don't want to *see* lots of repetition in nginx.conf, use
"include".

If you don't want to *write* lots of repetition in nginx.conf, use a
separate generator to create it.

This will match "/somedir/file1.php", and "/somedir/file1.phpX", and
"/somedir/file1.php/X", for any X.

Although later config will likely block anything except
"/somedir/file1.php" from being processed.

This will match only "/somedir/file1.php".

This will serve the file "/usr/local/nginx/html at cache", or else
return 404. (try_files tries files. Only the last parameter is handled
specially.)

Either make it "try_files /no-such-file @cache;", or replace it with
"include my-repeated-php-config-file;"

Good luck,
