Is it possible to use NGINX with ruby on rails in windows?

If that is possible can you point me in the right direction and  
requirements?

Thank you in advance

Then [http://github.com/fauna/mongrel](http://github.com/fauna/mongrel)  
What’s the problem there are about 5 ruby web-servers, they are often  
used with nginx in reverse proxy role. Many of them can work on windows.  
Or do you need nginx module or some kind of fastcgi?
