Re: Hold requests long enough for me to restart upstream?

Correct - just one upstream right now. So what I am looking for would
essentially be a “pause”. To tell it “hey if nothing’s listening and
there’s no other upstream just queue the requests and wait x seconds,
then retry”.

So it sounds like there is nothing to do this right now. Perhaps it is a
feature to be considered. Thanks.

Maybe you could just have it failover to a page with nothing but an HTTP
redirect (after n seconds) on it (and perhaps a nice message letting the
user know that this is happening).

You could use a proxy on localhost to nginx that forwards the request…

It would timeout if it couldn’t make the request, but at least the
socket would be openable.
