hi, dear all:

I am a newbie to nginx. Firstly thanks for your attentions.  
I have one problem about nginx:  
I install nginx on machine A, and install other tools on machine B &  
C…  
When uploading(PUT) one file to B or C, I found that when uploading,  
all the data flow are uploaded to nginx machine A at first, then the  
files  
are sent to machine B or C. I hope the uploading files are sent to B or  
C  
directly, not passing from A. is nginx able to do this? If yes, how to  
config that.  
I am wondering that if there are lots of clients doing I/O operations  
together, the nginx A  
should be the I/O bottleneck.

Many thanks.

BRs,
