Is symmetric routing required for a nginx deployment?

Server NGINX
1

Hi,

I’m investigating reverse proxy and content caching servers for a
deployment at work but our infrastructure is currently asymmetric where
the
server would only see the inbound half of the conversation. Does nginx
require symmetric configuration in order to see the three-way handshake
and
the subsequent GET?

Thanks!
