Hi Chris,

I was missing $1 in the end of the uri so the rewrite works.
Without it, it was being silently ignored and was creating a redirect loop.

For the mailing list archival purposes, here is what I ended up with:

server {
listen 11.22.33.44:80;
server_name abcd.domain.com;

location / {
rewrite ^(.*)$ /path1/path2/filename$1 break;
proxy_pass http://www.domain.com;
}
server_tokens off;
}


Thanks again,
Vahan
