hello -- nginx will not reload on some of our proxy servers, but does on others. all are running the same version: nginx/1.0.15. the reload fails with error: [emerg] 26903#0: host not found in upstream "webappNNx:8080" in /etc/nginx/upstream.conf:N the issue appears to be related to nginx's ability to resolve a hostname. our proxy servers use BIND servers that we run ourselves. the BIND servers are returning answers just fine afaict. and when i reproduce this problem on a proxy server, i sniff the network and can confirm the proxy is asking the nameserver for an A record, and gets that answer back successfully. there is a workaround i found, but i would really really rather not resort to this: putting backend (aka upstream :<) app nodes' into /etc/hosts. i have also heard suggestions to put the backend nodes' IPs into the proxy pool file (upstream.conf), but again, i'd rather not because it's not human readable, especially when firefighting. i'm hoping there is a better solution out there than these workarounds. we are using a thirdparty module: https://github.com/yaoweibin/nginx_upstream_check_module. no i have not tried to reproduce this problem without the module. i don't know how i would since we need the functionality that it provides. and yes i will follow up with the module author. any help? thank you very much in advance. all the gory details follow. kallen straces available upon request :> a proxy server where the problem does occur: ============================================ i'd like to note that the nginx parent on this server has been running for about 6 months. i try to reload, but the reload will not complete due to the error [emerg] 26903#0: host not found in upstream "webapp04a:8080" in /etc/nginx/upstream.conf:3 12/07 01:28[root@proxy2-prod-ue1 ~]# nginx -t nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successful 12/07 01:28[root@proxy2-prod-ue1 ~]# ps wwwwaxuf | grep ngin[x] root 20569 0.0 0.2 25652 5364 ?

I think your BIND server is suspicious. In Nginx, it's just do the call gethostbyname() when reloading. It's normal call in the glibc. Can you write a simple C code to use the gethostbyname() call for confirmation? 2012/12/7 groknaut <nginx-forum@nginx.us>

Like was already told, nginx internally does gethostbyname() to resolve hostnames during configuration, so if a problem disappears by moving the hostnames into /etc/hosts, I'd not suspect nginx. (It does gethostbyname() twice due to how it's currently coded, so it's expected.) To emulate what nginx does internally when processing this upstream, run it like this: ./gethostbyname.bin webapp02c webapp02c webapp06c webapp06c roapp02c roapp02c WITHOUT hostnames in /etc/hosts. Do it several times in a row. If that doesn't reveal the problem, do you have an ability to recompile nginx from sources?
