nginx.conf file in inf format or any other template based format would have been the easiest thing to do. perhaps future version of nginx can go down this route.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, May 3, 2010 at 9:12 PM, Michael Shadle <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mike503@gmail.com">mike503@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
