Use the ngxlua --add option
(https://github.com/chaoslawful/lua-nginx-module) or openresty, then add
https://github.com/agentzh/lua-upstream-nginx-module
replace the .c file from my archive and compile.

In the same archive you will find an example full working nginx config file
and 2 lua files giving you upstream access via a GUI or via Curl.

This can be done in Lua or you can let an external monitoring tool trigger a
script firing a curl command.

What I've made so far works for any OS.
