If the whole file downloaded again each time, does nginx support something like, if user seeks through the video start=99 and the rest of the file gets download instead of the whole file ? Is the rsync only solution if not nginx?

If you have mp4 module enabled at the upstream, then partial mp4 (well, it’s not partial actually,
but transformed) is downloaded and cached.  If not then you should configure a proper proxy_cache_key
to download the whole file once from the upstream and serve the whole mp4 from the cache.
