> I would like nginx to manage the requests among the three instances above, depending on the load. Is it correctly defined? How can I test that my request are properly managed by nginx?

# sbin/nginx -t
nginx: [emerg] invalid host in upstream "localhost:8080/Instance1" in /usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf:14
nginx: configuration file /usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf test failed

"upstream" must not include any part of the url.

You will probably better match nginx's idea of load-balancing if you
can use "/Instance" on each of three different host:port combinations.
