Take a look at location directive. It can be used to match given regex and take some action. For example, following be used to block hotlinking:
Code:
location ~* (\.jpg|\.png|\.gif)$ {
valid_referers blocked theos.in www.theos.in;
if ($invalid_referer) ) {
return 444;
}
}
Code:
location /path/to/your/wp-uploads {
if ($request_uri ~* (^\/|\.jpg|\.png|\.gif)$ ) {
break;
}
return 444;
}

how fast is nginx? some one said lighttpd is very fast, thoughts?
I think only large size website need nginx or lighttpd server. Most small site are okay with apache. At least most of our customer run apache.
