Hi all,
We are using nginx as proxy server in all our production deployment. The nginx 
server proxy the http request to Amazon ELB (elastic load balancer) using 
upstream module. Currently we are seeing timeout issues in NGINX because NGINX 
caches the IP address on start. Now when there is change in IP address of ELB, 
NGINX doesn't updates it's IP and still point to old IP. We went through many 
post on internet and tried setting resolver to AWS DNS server, resolver timeout 
to 20s, valids to 30 sec. defining variable instead of direct name in proxy 
pass, request URL in proxy pass but nothing has worked for us. NGINX is not 
honoring the resolver and corresponding TTL settings.
Some of the blogs also says that they have tried similar things and nothing 
works for them. IT looks to me like this is bug in NGINX and will be resolved 
only by changing the source.
Has anybody found solution to this problem? If yes, please let us know your 
configurations.
Only solution I have right now is write some script and restart the server when 
timeout occurs. But this is not ideal solution.
I am seriously thinking of moving to Apache Http server if this problem doesn't 
get resolved.

Regards,
Shankar
