Internal proxy passes

Server NGINX

Hi,

When you proxy_pass to a server that is hosted on the same nginx
installation, is the ‘connection’ handled internally, or is a new socket
opened and passed as it would if the host was on a different server?

Thanks,

Marcus.

This is usual socket connection.
