The problem was discussed couple of times here. 0MQ cannot provide an fd
bound to 0MQ socket because POSIX provides no mechanism to create "fake
fds" controlled from userspace. Platform-specific solutions would
require some kernel hacking, but the only real solution would be to
extend POSIX specification :(
Thus, I am afraid, the only way ahead is to hack nginx to accept 0MQ
sockets as well as BSD sockets.
Pretty awful, but I cannot think of anything better.
Thoughts anyone?
Martin
