does nginx forward requests to backend servers using http or https?

[NdridCold .]

Yes, However I did not have the entire stanza un-commented out. I have done
that, but now I am encountered with a different error message. Now I get:

nginx: [emerg] host not found in upstream "resolveservergroup.com" in
/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf:40

Here is my default.conf file:

upstream backendservergroup.com {
        # Use ip hash for session persistance
        ip_hash;
        # backend server 1
        server 192.168.155.120;
        # backend server 2
        server 192.168.155.126;
        # backend server 3
        server 192.168.155.127;

        # The below only works on nginx plus
        #sticky route $route_cookie $route_uri;
}
server {

    listen       80;
    server_name  nginxserver.com;

    }
