That is what I was thinking, I am having an issue with the listen directive, what should I use since the local port is "random" also for

split_clients "$remote_addr$remote_port" $split_ip

I cant use remote address since its a local address ?? same with port ?

This is what I have been trying and have not had any luck

upstream backend {
server 192.168.99.19:3306;
}
server {
listen 3306
proxy_pass backend;
proxy_bind $split_ip;
}

split_clients "$remote_addr$remote_port" $split_ip {
50% 192.168.99.17;
50% 192.169.99.21;
}

Nothing wrong with nginx in this scenario:
