Unsure about proxy_temp_file_write_size to prevent upstream response buffering

Hi Maxim,

	Thanks for your response, I've set my proxy directives to

  proxy_buffering 	on;
  proxy_buffer_size       4k;
-proxy_buffers 		4	32k;
+proxy_buffers 		8	32k;

	Which I'm guessing has 256k of buffering capacity, is that correct?

Cheers

Dave
