Do you know how nginx and systemd work right now?
You understand race condition between nginx and systemd?

You say, what nginx should work fine if no network available,
I say what nginx *must* work fine if network *IS* available.

So, I need create my own fork, for example, nginx-fixed,
which I can use with OpenVZ and CentOS 7.2 templates?

You can provide better solution for this systemd / nginx race condition?
Your solution is "forbid nginx users write IP adresses is nginx config"?

This is official decision of main open core nginx/nginx-plus developers?
