nginx proxying PHP to Apache, and CodeIgniter

Thanks for the info...

Apache listens on 8080 and is stripped down to only run mod_php5.

I was doing that for a while, and decided finally to just move all my PHP to nginx/fastcgi, and so far, I don't have any complaints, but I do miss my .htaccess files, and eventually, I'm going to get stumped on a mod_rewrite that I can't seem to port to nginx.
