john's questions

I would like to do something like:

location ~ ^/authorize/(\w+)$ {        
    proxy_pass http://my.vm/auth;
    proxy_pass_request_body on;
    proxy_set_header MY_CUSTOM_HEADER $1;
    proxy_pass_request_headers on;
}

However, I get the following error message:

nginx: [emerg] "proxy_pass" cannot have URI part in
location given by regular expression, or inside named location,
or inside "if" statement, or inside "limit_except" block in
nginx.conf

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

At work, we have two wireless networks (e.g., Work1 Work2); the Work2 is used downstairs and Work1 is used upstairs. However, both are notoriously slow. The connection is better when we are wired in, but unfortunately due to our building being very old and our company growing very fast, most employees are not seated near the walls where the ethernet cables are.

I had Cox, our ISP, run a bandwidth utilization test and it doesn't seem like we are capping out on upstream/downstream, which leads me to believe that it's strictly an issue with the wireless networks (which were implemented before I got there).

The wireless networks are both Apple Airport Extremes. Is there anything I can do to improve the situation for everyone?

Speeds are extremely slow, and sometimes drops out.

I would like to use google apps for my domain e-mail.

However, I want to be able to process emails and store attachments like in a ticketing system sent to:

mailbox@*.mydomain.com

How can I setup the MX records for this? Are there services that already do this that I can leverage?

My options are either to poll it from an inbox with pop3/imap or to process it in real time by running my own mailserver (the latter is not preferable due to the difficulty/responsibility involved).

Is it possible to associate multiple key pairs to the EC2 instance that I can give to other people for access?
