Is it possible to specify multiple proxy\_pass destinations from a single location block? Currently we have: location ~ ^/v1/?(?.+)? { resolver 208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220 valid=300s; resolver\_timeout 10s; proxy\_intercept\_errors off; proxy\_hide\_header Vary; proxy\_set\_header Host “[foo.mydomain.io](http://foo.mydomain.io)”; proxy\_set\_header X-Real-IP $remote\_addr; proxy\_set\_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy\_add\_x\_forwarded\_for; proxy\_pass [https://foo.mydomain.io/api/$url](https://foo.mydomain.io/api/$url); proxy\_connect\_timeout 10s; proxy\_read\_timeout 60s; proxy\_ssl\_session\_reuse on; proxy\_ssl\_trusted\_certificate /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt; proxy\_ssl\_verify on; proxy\_ssl\_verify\_depth 2; proxy\_ssl\_ciphers “EECDH+ECDSA+AESGCM EECDH+aRSA+AESGCM EECDH+ECDSA+SHA384 EECDH+ECDSA+SHA256 EECDH+aRSA+SHA384 EECDH+aRSA+SHA256 EECDH+aRSA+RC4 EECDH EDH+aRSA RC4 !aNULL !eNULL !LOW !3DES !MD5 !EXP !PSK !SRP !DSS”; } I’d like to keep all the above logic, but ALSO set up another proxy\_pass from this location block to say [bar.mydomain.com](http://bar.mydomain.com). What is the best way to do this?

To add another server to proxy\_pass you can use upstream: upstream mydomain { server [foo.mydomain.io](http://foo.mydomain.io); server [bar.mydomain.com](http://bar.mydomain.com); } server { … location /v1/ { proxy\_pass [http://mydomain/api/](http://mydomain/api/); … } – Igor S. > **[F5 NGINX: Built for cloud-native apps.

Thanks Igor. What if one of the servers listed in the upstream block should be over https and the other over http? How is this done using upstream proxies { server [foo.mydomain.io](http://foo.mydomain.io); server [bar.mydomain.com](http://bar.mydomain.com); } proxy\_pass [https://proxies/api/](https://proxies/api/); Notice the proxy pass defines only a single scheme (https).

When you say " but ALSO set up another proxy\_pass from this location block to say [bar.mydomain.com](http://bar.mydomain.com)" Do you mean the request should go to both? i.e foo.mydomian and bar.mydomain. If thats the case than upstream will not work because it will actually load balance the requests between 2 servers. Infact I am also looking for a solution wherein I need proxy\_pass to send request to the destined server but ALSO send it to another server also (in async manner). I tried using echo module with echo\_subrequest\_async but it did not worked. So I am not sure whats the best way to do that in Nginx check this [Echo sub request not working](http://forum.nginx.org/read.php?2,257211,257211) Posted at Nginx Forum: > **[Re: Multiple proxy\_pass destinations from a single location block](https://forum.nginx.org/read.php?2,256437,257238#msg-257238)** > > Is it possible to specify multiple proxy\_pass destinations from a single location block?
