NGINX configuration with two backends (without load balancing) and NGINX - MYSQL TLS encryption

[Roger Pack]

Since mysql connections don't have HTTP headers to "lookup the correct
backend server group" based on, I doubt it can do #1 FWIW...I actually
know little about nginx though.
Maybe if you have it listen on various different ports (or different
IP addresses coming in?)

For #2 maybe need "listen..ssl"?
https://docs.nginx.com/nginx/admin-guide/security-controls/terminating-ssl-tcp/
but I have no expertise, good luck!

We don't want to perform any load balancing operation on them, we just want to be able to redirect to MySQL instances based on a logical name, same as on http.
