I have pages that are generated dynamically but don’t change all that often. Would like to use Nginx to cache those pages. However every page has a “log in” bar at the top, similar to this forum. A logged-in user would see his name and a “log out” link. A user who isn’t logged in would see links to “log in” or to “register”. How do I cache a page like this where there is a small element that needs to be personalized? Normally this is a job for ESI, but Nginx doesn’t support ESI. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Forgot to add, I’m planning to use memc-nginx-module for the caching, if that makes any difference.
