I am new to nginx,  
bug, as far as I know,  
nginx is known to be a fast light webserver.

So, having each rewrite to be looked up in a mysql table seems  
something very slow idea.  
rewrite is something to be done on the fly, as fast as possible. and  
putting a mysql layer in this process seems not a good idea.
