During system startup, if nsd isn’t ready by the time nginx starts (which happens with systemd), failure to resolve the DNS name causes nginx to quit altogether. Such behavior doesn’t make much sense. DNS isn’t by definition reliable. Nginx should treat such errors as transient and keep retrying, while bringing up other unaffected servers. With current behavior, if a server suddenly reboots, nginx may fail to come online, resulting in downtime longer than necessary—until someone starts it manually.",defect,closed,major,,nginx-core,1.7.x,wontfix,,,"any, but particularly Linux with systemd",1.7.9
