Hi,

I am a nginx newbie. I have nginx configured as a reverse proxy/load balancer in front of a small cluster of Jboss servers. I have configured as per the tutorials on the web like this one ref: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-set-up-nginx-load-balancing and all works fine with simple round robin load balancing.

My question is, if one of the backend Jboss servers goes down how do I stop nginx from load balancing requests to the dead application server?

Thanks,
W
