If your nginx config file uses hostnames in the form proxy_pass http://$variable; then nginx needs to use a run-time resolver to find the IP address. That will probably not use the local hosts file, even indirectly. If your nginx config uses hostnames in the form proxy_pass http://www.example.com; then nginx will use the system resolver at startup to find the IP address. That will probably use the local hosts file. I confess that from your mail, I am not sure what machines are involved in your system, and how you want them to interact. So I can't say exactly what should be changed, where. But hopefully the above will help you work out what needs doing. Good luck with it, f -- Francis Daly [email protected] _______________________________________________ nginx mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.nginx.org/mailman/listinfo/nginx
