Our current configuration which uses php-fpm and nginx is causing  
timeout  
issues due to high load, we did have a server that failed this AM so  
that’s  
part of the issue.

In the meantime, where / how do I increase the upstream time out  
variable?  
is there anything else that I can be on the lookout for?
