In the configuration in question and assuming "proxy_next_upstream http_404;", nginx is expected to try all backends available, and then return 404 to the user. If in your case it results in an infinite loop, you may want to share more details on your configuration. -- Maxim Dounin http://mdounin.ru/ _______________________________________________ nginx-devel mailing list nginx-devel@nginx.org http://mailman.nginx.org/mailman/listinfo/nginx-devel
