Yeah, I think your whole calling out static files separately can be completely removed, and replaced purely with that 404 handler.

Also, I have noticed that it still doesn't work right if index.php is put in the URL:
http://michaelshadle.com/2008/06/14/rk-igor-sysoev/index.php

It serves up a WordPress 404 page, which means WP is trying to process it, so it seems to me a small bug in how it handles URLs. I want to report it, just haven't had the time. It should basically normalize the URL and remove index.php off the end if there is one prior to executing the resolving of a URI to a post ID...

I agree... wrote a quick guide for nginx + wpmu at http://wpmu.org/nginx-wordpress-26/ if anyone wants to try it out. Recently updated with your "error_page-trick".

You are right. Nginx is a wonderful piece of software. We are using it for several months and it cut off our webserver load multiple times. Not mentioning fact, that we are serving static content now incredibly fast.

I must admit that firstly I refused an idea about reverse proxy, but after I saw the results on our servers, I started to be a huge fan of nginx!

Igor, thank you for all the good work you did on this project!
