NGINX limit_req tornado web problems

[Antonio Pintus]

Hi all,

I'm trying to use the NGINX limit_req for my app APIs which has 1 NGINX 
+ 4 app. server frontends.

My conf is like the following:

http{
...
limit_req_zone  $binary_remote_addr  zone=data_zone:10m   rate=2r/s;

...

server{

...
location ^~ /data/new/ {
             limit_req   zone=data_zone burst=5 nodelay;
         }
...

But it doesn't work, in fact I'm able to call my API /data/new several 
times per second with success...and it isn't a good thing :)
Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance.

Best,

Antonio
