Please note that just by using ngx_http_upstream_* you won't make it 
magically non-blocking, you'll also need non-blocking C libraries 
(libdrizzle for MySQL, freetds for SQL Server) and you'll need to use the 
non-blocking interfaces (which you don't use right now)... That means that 
for MySQL you'll be better off by building on top of ngx_drizzle.

Ah, OK... That would explain it :)

It's almost* possible right now, to be honest you can "implement" dbrelay 
using ngx_form_input combined with ngx_drizzle/ngx_postgres.

* almost, because by design neither ngx_drizzle nor ngx_postgres allow you 
to specify database login and password on the run-time.
