Not sure if this exists or if anyone is using nginx but I was playing around with it last night and build a SES/Coldbox config file for nginx.
Wanted to share it with everyone in case it could help you guys out!

I haven’t added the sql-injection rules that Luis built for apache but hopefully will get to that later this week.

Would you be willing to donate these to the core?

Jeremy, you can also add the following if you want “pure” SES without tuckey:
if (!-f $request_filename) {
rewrite ^/(.*)$ //index.cfm/$1 break;
break;
}
Tom.
very cool Tom!
I was able to get the rewrites to work by modifying /WEB-INF/web.xml
and adding the following lines
CFMLServlet /index.cfm/*without Tuckey…but yet again I don’t know how tuckey works so maybe that is what it does for you and if so, i’m sorry for the confusion.

Tuckey is an URL rewriter – but you don’t need it with nginx.
I meant “pure” SES, like: www.domain.com/handler/event (which is rewritten to www.domain.com/index.cfm/handler/event)
I’ve used nginx quite a lot – so if you need any pointers feel free to ask 
Here’s some extra config which I use in one of my sites in case you’re interested. It utilises front end caching for cfm pages based on JSESSIONID (so user specific caching), and then non-user specific caching for static files.
proxy_cache_path /var/lib/nginx/staticcache levels=1:2 keys_zone=staticfilecache:1024m max_size=40g inactive=7d;
proxy_cache_path /var/lib/nginx/websitecache levels=1:2 keys_zone=websitecache:1024m max_size=40g inactive=1d;
server {
listen 80; ## listen for ipv4
server_name mywebsite.com; ## myserver name
index index.cfm; ## index page
gzip_vary on; ## enable gzip
gzip_static on;
location / {
if (!-f $request_filename) {
rewrite ^/(.*)$ /website/index.cfm/$1 break; ## rewrite all requests – for pure SES.
break;
}
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080/website/; ## pass all to this context root
proxy_cache websitecache; ## specific the cache to use for this location
proxy_cache_valid 200 302 1d; ## specify a cache timeout for the reponse code
proxy_cache_valid 307 404 500 400 1m; ## only cache these temporarily
proxy_cache_key “$scheme$host$request_method$request_uri$cookie_JSESSIONID”; ## the key for caching requests
proxy_cache_bypass $cookie_isAdmin; ## never cache administrators
proxy_no_cache $cookie_isAdmin; ## never cache administrators
access_log /var/log/nginx/cache.log cache; ## log cache requests to a cache log
}
location /includes {
root /usr/share/tomcat6/webapps/website/;
proxy_cache staticfilecache; ## specify the cache to use for this location
proxy_cache_valid 200 302 7d; ## specify a cache timeout for the reponse code
proxy_cache_valid 307 404 500 400 1m; ## only cache these temporarily
proxy_ignore_headers Set-Cookie; ## ignore cookie data for this cache
add_header Cache-Control “public, max-age=315360000”; ## set some headers for client side caching
expires max;
}
}
Tom, I am able to acomplish the same thing with Apache/Tomcat by using a simple rewrite rule as seen below.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ balancer://ajpCluster/index.cfm/$1 [P]
Are you talking about using Tomcat directly without Apache as the front-end server?

Tuckey helps if you want to use tomcat as a front end server without apache – but essentially the rule I gave you is a nginx equivalent of yours below.
