Hello,
With the new pass directive committed, I should be able to implement it
with less overhead as you have suggested.
https://hg.nginx.org/nginx/rev/913518341c20
I'm still trying to push our platform team to implement a firewall, but
this gives me an interim solution. Thanks a lot!
P.S. I also see that Nginx has introduced an ssl_reject_handshake
directive. It would be interesting if its behavior can be scripted.
