Just a side note: this is incorrect definition, $proxy_host is a 
host/port as written in the proxy_pass directive, not a "server 
that handled the request".

To list servers used to handle a request the $upstream_addr 
variable is available, see here:

http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_upstream_module.html#variables

The main reason why $proxy_host exists is that it's needed to 
create correct http request with a Host header from a proxy_pass 
directive.  It's mostly internal variable.  Why this is 
needed for uwsgi (and not fastcgi/scgi)?
