Hi,

I have a server configuration where there is a front end running nginx and two application servers running RoR application and four mongrels among a few other services on both servers. Front end and app servers are running on different ip:s so that front end only forwards requests to app servers.

My problem is that because front end (nginx) is located on other ip than the app, it seems that I cannot tell nginx to cache images and css files by writing something like:

[code]
location ~* \.(js|css|jpg|jpeg|gif|png)$ {
if (-f $request_filename) {
expires max;
break;
}
}
[/code]

If running nginx and app server on the same machine this works fine. Is there any rather easy solution for this?

Thank you in advance.
