NGI proxy from ipv6 to ipv4

Server NGINX
1

Hi all

I have several web servers (FreeBSD+nginx+php-fpm)
on 172.16.10.0/24 private network.

I pass all ipv4 public traffic from nginx servrer with 2 nic
(one on inside and one on outside)

Can nginx pass also ipv6 traffic to ipv4 private ips?

kind regards

Yes. You have to compile nginx with ipv6 support (./configure
–with-ipv6, IPV6 option in port) and configure listen sockets on
appropriate ipv6 addresses, e.g.

server {
    listen 80;
    listen [::]:80;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://backends;
    }
}
