Hey!

I am moving from apache to nginx and i am having some problems with  
proxy settings. Apache settings are:

ProxyRequests Off  
ProxyPreserveHost Off

Order deny,allow  
Allow from all

ProxyPass /dirpath [http://sub.yourdomain.com/dirpath](http://sub.yourdomain.com/dirpath)  
ProxyPassReverse /dirpath [http://sub.yourdomain.com/dirpath](http://sub.yourdomain.com/dirpath)

```
  CacheEnable mem /dirpath/js
  MCacheSize 2048
  MCacheMaxObjectCount 100
  MCacheMinObjectSize 1
  MCacheMaxObjectSize 8192

```

I need these setting to load ajax file from another server and due to  
cross-domain security restrictions proxy is the only option.

Thank you!
