Hello,

happily testing the stream{} - feature and loadbalancing-mechanism with  
nginx 1.9  
and it works very smoth; looks like we ca use nginx as http-lb as well  
as  
tcp-lb  
in production very soon; thank you, nginx-team!

is there something like allow/deny planned for the stream {} - method?  
[http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx\_http\_access\_module.html#allow](http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_access_module.html#allow)

atm we use a packetfilter, but having this feature in nginx - stream {}  
would be  
a great addition.

thanx in advance,

mex
