Hello,  
Is there a way to set up nginx so that an http request is:  
(1) processed as usual, with the client receiving the appropriate answer  
(2) and the same request is forwarded to another server with the answer  
ignored.

It would be important that the forward be done once the answer is sent  
to the client.

Thanks!
