I further tried the following things, which didn't help either:
- took out most of the configs in my nginx.conf and now I have the simplest configuration possible, as below.
- upgraded to 1.0.14 stable from 1.0.12 development.

My new simplified nginx.conf:

worker_processes 2;
daemon off;

error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log;

events {
worker_connections 2048;
}

http {
client_header_buffer_size 256k;
large_client_header_buffers 8 1024k;

upstream foo.com {
server 10.0.0.99:16234;
server 10.0.0.20:16234;
}

server {
listen 443;

ssl on;
ssl_certificate /etc/foo.com.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /etc//foo.com.key;

server_name foo;

access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log main;

set $foo "foo.com";

location / {
proxy_set_header x-foo-rid $request_id;
proxy_redirect http://$foo /;
proxy_pass http://$foo;
}
}
}
