While in theory this may be usefull when, e.g., switching from other servers to nginx, it's not something expected to happen during normal operation. Because of this there is no real need to configure retries - if nginx fails to start because previously working server isn't stopped in time, administrator will be able to start nginx again. And if this happens for some reason during normal operation, probably the problem is anyway fatal and retries won't help. -- Maxim Dounin http://nginx.org/ _______________________________________________ nginx-devel mailing list nginx-devel@nginx.org http://mailman.nginx.org/mailman/listinfo/nginx-devel
