Hi —

(This is nginx 1.11.10 and up to date FreeBSD STABLE-11)

I recently implemented LE certificates for my virtual domains, which will be 
served at two hosts, accessed by round-robin DNS, aka two IP addresses. In 
order to get the acme challenges running, I did implement the following 
configuration:

Host A and Host B:

        # port 80
        server {
                include                 include/IPs-80;
                server_name             example.com;
                location / {
                        # redirect letsencrypt ACME challenge requests to 
local-at-host-A.lan
                        location /.well-known/acme-challenge/ {
                        proxy_pass http://local-at-host-A.lan;
                        }
                        # all other requests are redirect to https, permanently
                        return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
                }
        }

        # port 443
        [snip]


Server local-at-host-A.lan (LE acme) finally serves the acme challenge 
directory:

        server {
                include         include/IPs-80;
                server_name     local-at-host-A.lan;
                # redirect all letsencrypt ACME challenges to one global 
directory
                location /.well-known/acme-challenge/ {
                        root    /var/www/acme/;
                }
        }



Well, that is working, somehow, except: If the LE server addresses Host A, the 
challenge file is going to be retrieved instantaneously. If the LE server 
addresses Host B, only every *other* request is being served instantaneously:

        1. access: immediately download
        2. access: 60 s wait, then download
        3. access: immediately download
        4. access: 60 s wait, then download
        etc.


Hmm, default proxy_connect_timeout is 60s, I know. But why every other connect?

Every feedback on how to solve/debug that issue is highly welcome.

Thanks and regards,
Michael
