Hello,

yes that is indeed possible with nginx.

The Admin Guide is a good starting point:
https://docs.nginx.com/nginx/admin-guide/web-server/reverse-proxy/

The principal module you'll be dealing with is the http_proxy module, you can find the docs here:
https://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_proxy_module.html

Regards
Jack
