Module connecting outside

[Antonio Nappa]

Hello,

I have a module connecting to the outside through SSL with the usage of
ngx_event_connect_peer and the SSL primitives of nginx. My next question
is, it is better to have a separate peer and its connection for each
worker, or share the same connection among all the workers? My idea is to
send some information to the outside world and both ways may work, but I
want to be sure to make the correct design decision.

Thanks a lot,
Antonio
