 Note that lighttpd doesn't support 'valid-user' in versions prior to 1.3.16.
 
+Conditional configuration is also useful for mapping static resources, i.e. serving out images and CSS directly instead of through FastCGI:
+{{{
+# Aliasing functionality is needed
+server.modules += ("mod_alias")
+
+# Setup an alias for the static resources
+alias.url = ("/trac/chrome/common" => "/usr/share/trac/htdocs")
+
+# Use negative lookahead, matching all requests that ask for any resource under /trac, EXCEPT in
+# /trac/chrome/common, and use FastCGI for those
+$HTTP["url"] =~ "^/trac(?!/chrome/common)" {
+# If you have previous fastcgi.server declarations for applications other than Trac, use += here
+# instead of = so you won't overwrite them
+fastcgi.server = ("/trac" =>
+                   ("trac" =>
+                     ("socket" => "/tmp/trac-fastcgi.sock",
+                      "bin-path" => "/path/to/cgi-bin/trac.fcgi",
+                      "check-local" => "disable",
+                      "bin-environment" =>
+                        ("TRAC_ENV" => "/path/to/projenv")
+                     )
+                   )
+                 )
+}
+}}}
+The technique can be easily adapted for use with multiple projects by creating aliases for each of them, and wrapping the fastcgi.server declarations inside conditional configuration blocks.
