Note that it should be relatively easy to extract address/port into
separate variables using map or njs/other scripting language, so
you don't need to program new variable each time.

You may also want to look into implementation of the $upstream_addr
variable: it is located in the stream upstream module, and it is a
bit more complex than an addr:port pair, quoting the doc:

If several servers were contacted during proxying, their addresses are
separated by commas, e.g. “192.168.1.1:12345, 192.168.1.2:12345, unix:/tmp/sock”.
If a server cannot be selected, the variable keeps the name of the
server group.
