Hi there,

Untested, but: it feels nicer to avoid rewrite if possible.

  location = /nginx {
   # proxy_pass or fastcgi_pass and fastcgi_param, or whatever is appropriate
  }

"appropriate" depends on which non-nginx thing you use to process php.

  location = /page.php {
   if (#this_should_redirect) {
    return 302 /nginx;
   }
   # proxy_pass or fastcgi_pass, or whatever is appropriate
  }

"this_should_redirect" might be based on $arg_arg, or on $query_string,
or on something similar.

What should happen for /page.php?arg=other? And for
/page.php?arg=nginx&other?
