Cliff,
Thank you and Francis for your quick and detailed responses.
Even though the HTTPS redirect was disabled, the application itself still sends a redirect to /home. For example, if you type in http://my.domain.com you were successfully redirected to https://my.domain.com/home. That initial redirect was happening and that is where the error 310 would occur, at the https://my.domain.com/home level.
I see that Francis is in agreement with you that the proxy_pass directive is being negated by the permanent rewrite. Just for my edification, would you (or anyone else who would like to take a stab at it) mind confirming that if I remove the proxy_pass directive, I will still be able to achieve load balancing between the two upstream servers? If you could explain how load balancing works without that directive so I have a clearer understanding, I'd be even happier! I have searched the wiki and my Nginx book, but I'm either missing it, or this specific scenario is not addressed.
Cheers,
Matt
