Hi all,

We're running nginx as a load balancer in front of two reverse proxies
(Apache2/mod_security) for our web site.

It's been working great except last night apache stopped on one of the
reverse proxy and nginx would continue sending HTTP requests to it. The
result was that about 50% of the requests to the web site failed.

If I unplug the reverse proxy, nginx detects that it's down and will
only send requests to the "good" reverse proxy.

Here's my config, I guess that my "proxy_next_upstream" is wrong but I
can't figure out how... It would be great if someone could shed some
light on this issue for me.

=====
upstream SRACQ {
server 192.168.1.57:80;
server 192.168.1.67:80;
}

server {
listen 66.254.57.167:80;
server_name www.sracq.qc.ca;
access_log /var/log/nginx/www.sracq.qc.ca_HTTP.access.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/www.sracq.qc.ca_HTTP.error.log;

location / {
proxy_next_upstream error timeout invalid_header http_500;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;

proxy_pass http://SRACQ;
}
}
=====

Thanks a lot,
GFK's
