Description

Hi NGINX team,

Awesome work with the TCP reverse proxy! Keep it up!

I have a use case where my proxy_pass destination needs DNS re-resolving every day or so. I did some testing and was unable to setup destination re-resolving. My config is as follows:

/etc/nginx.conf
stream {

resolver 10.0.0.2 valid=10s;
resolver_timeout 10s;
include /etc/nginx/stream.d/*.conf;

}

/etc/nginx/stream.d/tcpbackend.conf is a symlink to /etc/nginx/stream.sites/tcpbackend.conf

/etc/nginx/stream.sites/tcpbackend.conf
server {

listen 1883;

proxy_pass internal-app.example.com:1883;

}

This setup works (as in tcp is successfully routed to the A host at internal-app.example.com, but when there is an A host change, nginx continues to route to the old IP.

This fix is readily available in the http module using "set $be internal-app.example.com" and then "proxy_pass $be". Is there such thing possible for the stream module?

Thanks!

In stream, there is no set directive, but there are other ways to create variables, including map.

Please use mailing list for further questions. Thank you.

Hi mdounin,

Thanks for your help! map did the job. In case anyone is interested, below is the code I used that got it to work:

in /etc/nginx/stream.sites/tcpbackend.conf:
map internal-app.example.com $be {

default "internal-app.example.com";

}

server {

listen 1883;

proxy_pass $be:1883;

}

Thanks again!
