Hi,

I want to use the Nginx-Gridfs module to server some static files,  
images to  
be precise, from GridFS. The examples in the ReadMe show how to set up  
paths  
for GridFS but I was unable to find a way to map a subdomain to GridFS,  
i.e.  
if I have [www.example.com](http://www.example.com) as my main domain then I would like to map  
[images.examples.com](http://images.examples.com) to GridFS. Images will be uploaded to GridFS through  
my  
Rails app.

How do I tell the Nginx server or the Nginx-GridFS module to do this  
mapping?

I am not sure if this is a question for this forum or the MongoDB forum  
and  
hence I posted the same question in both places. Sorry if this is the  
wrong  
place and also for cross-posting.

Thank you.
