Thanks. I'm using the upstream module, so what I had was this:

    proxy_pass         http://backend;

I changed it to

    proxy_pass         http://backend/;

The result was this:

Starting nginx: 2009/11/04 11:12:12 [emerg] 2272#0: "proxy_pass" may not 
have URI part in location given by regular expression, or inside named 
location, or inside the "if" statement, or inside the "limit_except" 
block in /etc/nginx/proxy.conf:1

What have I done wrong?
