Ok, that's I wanted to know. It's made on purpose.
I wanted to do something like :
RewriteRule \.php - [handler=fastcgi-script]
FastCGIExternalServer DOCUMENTROOT/ -host ng91:9000

Yes, I'm a big fan of mod_rewrite, must be crazy.

First, don't forget virtual to the action line.

Also /my/fcgi/bin/dir/php.fcgi can't be totally made up. The directory /my/fcgi/bin/dir must exists and have "Allow from all".

I came out with something slightly shorter and straight forward :

 AddHandler php-fastcgi .php
 Action php-fastcgi /php.fcgi virtual
 FastCgiExternalServer DOCUMENTROOT/php.fcgi -host remotehost:9000

Because I haven't been able to reproduce and understand your setup and saw very strange values in PATH_TRANSLATED. Must be something with the way Apache (2.2) resolves paths.

That's the same thing that I wanted to do, with just an extra step : two machines with identical web installation, but a separation of dynamic and static contents.

Thanks anyway.
