Hi

So far from my reading and testing of NGINX I can't find a compact way of 
configuring NGINX as I've done here with HAProxy config. Disregard the bind on 
a port range,
I get that the NGINX listen statement works on an individual port basis, so the 
equivalent of what's below in NGINX would at the very least require 300 listen 
statements.

So far from what I've been able to tell, and what I'm wanting to confirm, 
there's also no way to avoid having 300 upstreams? One for each port between 
2000 and 2299 so that
10.1.0.1:2000 is proxied to 127.0.0.1:2000 and 10.1.0.1:2001 is proxied to 
127.0.0.1:2001 for example. Is this correct, is there no way to avoid having 
300 upstreams if I'm
needing proxy 10.1.0.1:X to 127.0.0.1:X. Based on a quick back of the napkin 
calculation, I'd be looking at around 2,000 to 2,500 lines of configuration in 
NGINX if a new
upstream is required for each and every port I'm needing to handle. If this is 
correct does anyone know what the impact on memory use would be having so much 
configuration
for NGINX?

FYI I've tried referencing my own declared variables from within the upstream 
as well as referencing $server_port but of course these don't appear to be in 
scope.

I think in this particular case HAProxy is a better fit but I'm interested in 
seeing what can be done with NGINX as it's typically my go to solution.
frontend inbound
  bind 10.1.0.1:2000-2299
  mode tcp
  acl use_local src 127.0.0.0/8 10.1.0.0/24
  use_backend local-app if use_local
  default_backend balanced-app

backend balanced-app
  balance roundrobin
  mode tcp
  option tcp-check
  server self 127.0.0.1 check port 2000
  server srv2 10.1.0.2 check port 2000

backend local-app
  mode tcp
  option tcp-check
  server self 127.0.0.1 check port 2000

Thanks
Phillip
