the memc module is better for this, at least in my experience:  http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpMemcModule

only does gets. redis2 module supports most redis commands: http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpRedis2Module

I had issues in the past with the app writing into the cache and nginx reading from it. Partially because of the numerous apps we run nginx in front of.  I like nginx doing the reading and the writing.

this has worked well: http://wiki.nginx.org/NginxHttpSRCacheModule
Or some simple lua using location captures.

if you used redis, for example, you could do something in lua to do the purging that took regexes fairly easily.
