nginx and cscart

[Reinis Rozitis]

Think of nginx as a transparent proxy/frontend - so instead of giving 
proxy_set_header Host 192.168.1.1;  you should set the real hostname of the 
site proxy_set_header Host yoursite.com; (you can also use $host variable if 
there are multiple/dynamic domains).

upstream mysites_hash {
ip_hash;
server 192.168.1.1;
server 192.168.1.2;
}

location /csupdate {
    proxy_pass http://mysites_hash/csupdate;
    proxy_set_header Host www.mydomain.com;
}

That way the backends/application should use full domain (the one you pass 
in the header) in the redirects which will go through your nginx frontend 
without the need of extra proxy_redirect directives.
