Nevermind. As long as the Jespa-Connect-Id uniquely identifies the client,
it doesn't matter what the NGINX to backend connections are. They can be
the default 1.0.

So load balancing NTLM with my implementation using the above nginx.conf
directives works great. I don't know what I was thinking when I posted this.

NGINX is great software BTW. It handles proxying so gracefully it's
fantastic. Nice work.
