You can listen on a port range (see below).

Depends if you want nginx to perform any active healthchecks and what kind of 
backends those are.

If it is http and you just need to redirect traffic instead of defining 
upstreams a configuration with (way) less lines could be:

    server {
        listen 10.1.0.1:2000-2299;
        location / { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:$server_port; }
    }


A fallback to another proxy could be configured via error_page (502). 
Something like:

error_page 502 @fallback;
location @fallback { proxy_pass http://10.1.0.2:$server_port; }

But I don't think there is a way (at least in the base vanilla) nginx to 
configure upstreams in a dynamic way with port ranges as in upstream {} doesn't 
support variables for the server definitions.
