Hi there,

I've re-read the thread, and I'm not sure what you are trying to
do. Hopefully the following will be useful; if not, if you could include
a clear picture of what services should be running and how they should
interact, it might make it easier for the next person to offer help.

If your backend servers are nginx, each configured to talk to a fastcgi
server, then the above should be pretty much all you need.

That will be useful if your frontend server (= load balancer) should
split the .php urls separately from the other urls.

I think you've said that your front-end doesn't have files, so try_files
can't work.

Perhaps using

proxy_intercept_errors on;

with

error_page 404 = /forum/data.php$args;

inside the "location /" block would work in a similar way? (Although
it might need to be /forum/data.php?$args, for the php-using location
to match.)

Good luck with it,
