Description

Hi,

We are using nginx as a http proxy.
We have to connect to only a couple of http servers.
There is high load generated from the clients. We want to reuse the TCP connections.
This can be acheived by adding upstream servers (as described in ​https://ma.ttias.be/enable-keepalive-connections-in-nginx-upstream-proxy-configurations/ ).
But the list of http servers can change.
Please let us know if there some configuration using which we can re-use TCP connections without needing upstream server configuration. (From ​https://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/4486861 I understand that dynamic configuration of upstream servers is not possible.)
If it is not supported yet, please enhance nginx so that with a new configuration tcp connections could be re-used without needing upstream server configuration.


With Best Regards,
Diwakar
