I have decided to release an in-house module that I have been using for  
my  
hosting company. A full explanation of the goals of the module is  
available  
in the README.

I am well aware that this module introduces (minor) additional  
per-request  
overheads. However, experience has shown them to be far superior to the  
alternative of Apache whilst allowing the freedom to run a shared  
environment without constantly restarting the nginx. As my knowledge of  
the  
inner workings of nginx is not as sophisticated as that of others I  
welcome  
feedback regarding optimisation.
