Depends on how paranoid you are  Even if you set up your own, there' s no telling how theirs will be set up. I've seen people';s sessions get goofed cos the sysadmin had cookie caching turned on.
It's been my experience that the app runs the same with apache+mod_proxy_balancer as with nginx. That said, most companies I know of try to have a staging server that mirrors their prod server. This helps eliminate any questions as to whether it's the machine / os / server / size of the hamster in the CPU.
C ould also compromise... use apache';s regular proxy to bounce requests over to nginx

I usually develop using nginx/mongrel and deploy on the same platform. In the past I'd develop on webrick and deploy on lighttpd and would
(rarely) run into situations where code worked on webrick but not on lightty.
Now I'm in a situation where the client has requested Apache/Mongrel while I'm developing on Nginx/Mongrel. Since the Rails side is handled
by mongrel, is there any chance that the front-end webserver difference will cause the code to act differently? If so I'll probably just set up another dev environment to mimic the deploy platform.
