The difference between "download.foobar.com" and 
"download_servers" is a name that will be used in requests to an 
upstream (see http://nginx.org/r/proxy_set_header).  And if your 
upstream sever responds with an error due to incorrect name used, 
nginx will not store the response.

That is, from the information you provided what you describe looks 
like a result of a misconfiguration.
