Nginx :
Here's my configure in nginx.conf:

if (!-e $request_filename) {
        rewrite ^/latest-links/.htm[l]?$ /index.php?list=latest last;
                rewrite ^/top-hits/.htm[l]?$ /index.php?list=top last;
                rewrite ^/latest-articles/.htm[l]?$ /index.php?list=latestarticles last;
        rewrite ^/(.*)detail/link-(.*)\.htm[l]?$ /detail.php last;
        rewrite ^/(.*)articles/article-(.*)/.htm[l]?$ /article.php last;
        rewrite ^/(.*)authors/author-(.*)\.htm[l]?$ /author.php last;
        rewrite ^/(.*)page-[0-9]+\.html$  /index.php last;
        rewrite ^/(.+)\.html$ /page.php?name=$1 last;
        rewrite ^/(.*)$ /index.php last;
 }
