Serve different set of cache conditionally

Server NGINX
1

Hi All,

I would like to know if I can configure nginx to utilise different set
of
cache zone conditionally.

For example

  • if the user-agent is a mobile device then use proxy_cache zone called
    “mobile_proxy_zone”
  • if $http_cookie contains the word “semi-static” then use proxy_cache
    zone
    called “semistatic_proxy_zone”
  • if user IP address is 8.8.0.0/16 then use proxy_cache zone called
    “gws_internal_zone”
  • Serve the rest using proxy_cache zone default_zone

At this point, I don’t mind having the rules as first hit first serve (
ie
if it matched user-agent then just use mobile_proxy_zone even when the
semi-static is present on the $http_cookie )

Is this do able ?
Can we specify the proxy zone dynamically ?
