You have two http servers, and two fastcgi servers; and you want nginx
to handle a single request by using the appropriate one of proxy_pass
and fastcgi_pass, with telling nginx which one to use?

I do not think that it can be done.

You can share certain requests among the http servers; and you can share
certain other requests among the fastcgi servers; but I believe you
can't have a single incoming request balanced across different protocols
in stock nginx.
