Hi Igor,

I have upgraded my nginx to version 0.7.62 and there is no error now thanks.
But i think it is not working as i expected it to be. With the configuration you gave me I can't find any activities on logs showing any connection or request on both server. Can you please check what seems to be wrong on my configuration?

These are the configurations:

On sample.server.com:
