It is only a header in the response:

http://wiki.codemongers.com/NginxXSendfile

Howabout to make the following:

### pseudo config
acl internal_download path_end iso

use_backend direct_downwload if internal_download

backend direct_downwload

   responseheader X-Accel-Redirect:\/protected/iso.img    responseheader X-Accel-Redirect:\/protected/iso.img    requestdeny ....
