proxy_bind doesn't work outside location

[mojiz]

Hi

I don't know if this is appropriate place or not but there is a bug with
proxy_bind, the directive has to be inside a location to work. I'm sure
this wasn't true for early versions.
so this won't work:
        proxy_bind 1.7.2.109;
        location /test {
        .
        .
        .
                proxy_pass ...;
       }

while this does

        location /test {
        .
        .
        .
        proxy_bind 1.7.2.109;
        proxy_pass ...;
       }
