  http://wiki.nginx.org/NginxHttpProxyModule#proxy_intercept_errors

"If you set this to on then nginx will intercept status codes that are 
explicitly handled by an error_page directive. Responses with status codes 
that do not match an error_page directive will be sent as-is from the 
proxied server."
