Sorry, I don't really understand what you're trying to achieve. Are
you trying to make the nginx workers talk to each other? Maybe you can
use the lua_shared_dict to share your data among them?

BTW, it's recommended to post to the openresty-en mailing list for
OpenResty specific questions. Please see
