Re: [vserver] nginx fastcgi on vserver (contao)

Talking to myself, again:

apparently, http://library.linode.com/web-servers/nginx/php-fastcgi/debian-5-lenny
(with the spawn-fcgi binary from the stock debian lenny
lighttpd package) does work with 127.0.0.1 without
exposing ports to the outside.

How is this implemented, if real localhost is not available
within vserver guests?
