Proxy pass keepalive without upstream module

Server NGINX

Hi
I read here that keepalives to backend can be enabled with the upstream
module
(Module ngx_http_upstream_module)
But can they be used without defining an upstream block? Just a simple
proxy_pass as the backend is a variable in my case: ‘proxy_pass
$proxy_to;’

Many thanks
