Hi! Unfortunately, I didn't find a very good solution for this, but, in nginx 1.4+ the issue with SSL backend keepalive was fixed - so if you have a list of all your possible servers, your configuration file will look horrible, but you can achieve this by having all the backend servers defined as upstreams with different "server" clauses for each of the proxies.

A shame that no one has a solution for this... It's a really big performance hit whenever backend servers are https and nginx simply renegotiates SSL for each request. Is there any plan to support this? Some sort of backend connection pooling with SSL?by mamoos1 - Nginx Mailing List - English
Hi, I have an nginx configured as a reverse proxy using proxy_pass. This is a dynamic reverse proxy, it fetches content for users in accordance to the HOST header in the requests. The problem I encountered is that the backends are normally SSL, and every request that goes has to re-handshake (since there is no keep-alive between nginx and the backend servers). I know that I can configure keeby mamoos1 - Nginx Mailing List - English
