Multiple reverse proxies that read from /static/ ?

[Matt Gray]

I think your comment "intuitively nesting doesn't work" is correct - you
wish to merge the uri spaces of django and ipython into one, which means
that if both apps need (eg) /static/css/main.css, they will collide and one
app will always get the wrong file. It might be that you can avoid
collisions of this type by chance, but then you run the risk of collision
occurring due to an upgrade of either app.

I would either a) see if you can modify the static files location for the
apps, or serve one / both off a subdomain  - notebook.mysite.com or
similiar. If you really want to try the "merge" approach, try_files
http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html#try_files might be
of use.
