Hello,

Id like to isolate the resources each one of my server {} consumes… in  
case any of my sites gets DoSed … id like to try to contain possible  
effects related to used worker processes within its respective site. Is  
there anyway to achieve this?

Regards,  
Mike

If your servers use different address/port pairs, an obvious  
solution would be to run several instances of nginx, one per  
address/port.
