I think that you are asking about setting the source address that nginx
should use when it is making a proxy_pass connection to an upstream.

If so: in general, nginx leaves that to the OS to decide. So if you can
set your local routing table such that any traffic to upstream1 comes
from ip1 and traffic to upstream2 comes from ip2, then nginx will Just
Work (as will anything else on your nginx-serving machine).

If you won't do that, then if you have the case where proxy_pass in one
location goes to upstream1 and proxy_pass in another location goes to
upstream2, then proxy_bind (http://nginx.org/r/proxy_bind) can do what
you want.

Cheers,
