AW: nginx as Loadbalancer, router + NAT

[Sascha sk. Kain]

Hi, 
Yes correct! And to the server section I would add this lines:

server {
	listen 89.250.xx.xxx:80 # offical ip-adress 
...
}

And enable NAT/IP-Masquerading on this box.

Then I should have a Router/NAT/LoadBalancer with nginx. Correct?
I need the IP based Hash, to get always to the same private host!

Will there be any problems with the host headers or smt like this?

Best Regards

Sascha

If I understand your question, you may set any addreses in upstream:

    upstream  backend {
        server   192.168.1.1;
        server   192.168.1.2;
        server   192.168.1.3;
        server   192.168.2.1;
        server   192.168.2.1;
        # and
        server   127.0.0.1;
        # and even
        server   unix:/tmp/socket;
    }
