Multiple proxy_pass

Server NGINX
1

Should it be possible to use a different proxy_pass statement under a
single
location using if statement?
I’ve tried using the following config but all traffic gets passed to the
‘primary’ upstream regardless of the value of $host.

upstream primary {
server x.x.x.x;
}

upstream secondary {
server x.x.x.x;
}

location / {
if ($host = ‘secondary.example.com’) {
proxy_pass http://secondary;
}
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_pass http://primary;
}

Many thanks,

Actually, you need two servers:

server {
      server_name primary.example.com;
      location / {
          proxy_pass http://primary;
          proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
     }
}

server {
      server_name secondary.example.com;

      location / {
          proxy_pass http://secondary;
          proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
      }
}
