We are using nginx in front of out mongrel clusters and finding that  
the logs are growing out of control. For every requrest we get 4  
errors! Basically, for each rails request it is first going off to see  
if an index.html exists, then if a static html exists, then a file  
without the html… it is crazy!  
Anyone have any suggestions about how to cut this down?
