Question on Instance structure.

[Thomas Ward]

Jon,

I'm not 100% sure if you understand NGINX properly, but I think you're 
confusing "multi-instance" and "multi-site" when it comes to NGINX.

Multi-instance NGINX requires multiple individual NGINX instances each 
running completely different configuration stacks, and not the default 
nginx.conf.

A multi-site configuration is one NGINX binary set with multiple `server 
{}` definitions inside the relevant blocks - i.e multiple server blocks 
within the `http{}` block for multiple webserver configurations to serve 
more than one site from a single NGINX binary/config set.

Is your goal to have multiple NGINX instances with different 
configurations running individually alongside each other, or is your 
goal to have NGINX simply serve / handle multiple sites with a single 
binary and configuration set?
