Proxy_bind pool

Server NGINX
1

Hi,

Is it possible to use proxy_bind to a pool of IPs? Since each IP has a
limited ephemeral ports that can be used to make outbound connections to
upstream servers, it would be help if we can use a pool of IPs for
proxy_bind, or is there another workaround to have more connections to
upstream server farm?

Thanks!
Frank

Yes, it’s possible – proxy_bind supports variables (this support
was added exactly for the use case above).
