I am searching for an example configuration file for nginx for the follow set-up: - firewall with prerouting port 80 and 443 to server-x running nginx - server-a running apache on port 80 ([a.example.org](http://a.example.org)) (192.168.24.60) - server-b running apache on port 80 ([b.example.org](http://b.example.org)) (192.168.24.61) - server-c running apache on port 80 ([c.example.org](http://c.example.org)) (192.168.24.62) - … - all ip-based request should be return a not available error How can I make a name-based redirection to the different servers? And should I handle https on nginx or should apache handle it? I am running Debian 6.0.1. with nginx 0.7.67 Thanks in advance, Kind regards, Jelle de Jong ---

Now only the IP of the nginx system is logged? (I know this is because of the proxy so I am wondering if this is something that can be fixed?) Is the configuration correct? Can it be improved? Hints & tips? Kind regards, Jelle de Jong ---
