For those who need more control over the NGINX cache I just want to recommend this plugin http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/nginx-manager... It's an enhanced version of "ngixn-proxy-cache-integrator". Basically it has a system to purge page from NGINX cache each time a post is modified.

Hi There,
Just wanted to let you know I just configured nginx as a caching proxy in front of WP (also running on nginx). I did this primarily because I found the WP-Supercache plugin to be tempremental with nginx.
So, my current setup provides front end cachine and back end service on the once nginx instance, which seems to work better than I would have thought

Awesome! Thanks for the link There isn’t a lot of information available about this sort of things. For whatever reason people seem to set it up, but never bother publishing how they did it or what the best route to doing it is

Howdy! The plugin is here:

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/nginx-proxy-cache-integrator/

The plugin itself is fairly simple – the “magic” is mostly in nginx and how awesome it is as a proxy cache. You will probably want to tweak the cache timeout rules to fit your traffic – but that should be fairly easy to figure out if you look through the example nginx configs.
