If you update the other, the loadbalancer should recognize and don't forward any traffic. If you don't have machines for this, you could even do it on the same machine. Setup a local loadbalancer and two nginx instances to loadbalance. If the hardware dies, you will have your downtime anyways. But remember: Every downtime is your maintenance window ;). hth, Marc

So, is there any way to dynamically activate that module without manually fetching and compiling Nginx on the system? I don't want to build Nginx from source. I cannot do that - it's a production server. Not sure how much work would be involved ... but I think that you could build and test on a machine set up as per your production machine? Then copy across the binary file(s). The module selection is part of the nginx build system - you can't do this without building nginx.
