I noticed that in ngx_http_proxy_module proxy_pass http://localhost:8000/uri/; "If a domain name resolves to several addresses, all of them will be used in a round-robin fashion. In addition, an address can be specified as a server group."
However this can be confusing for end users who innocently put the domain name "localhost" then find that round-robin across ipv6 and ipv4 is occurring, ref: https://stackoverflow.com/a/58924751/32453 https://stackoverflow.com/a/52550758/32453 Suggestion/feature request: If a domain name resolves to several addresses, log a warning in error.log file somehow, or at least in the output of -T, to warn somehow. Then there won't be unexpected round-robins occurring and "supposedly single" servers being considered unavailable due to timeouts, surprising people like myself. Thank you for your attention, and for nginx, it's rocking fast! :) -Roger Pack- _______________________________________________ nginx mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.nginx.org/mailman/listinfo/nginx
