nginx

I'm setting up an external nginx server to proxy all outgoing traffic in order to simplify outbound firewall rules.

What I'd like is:

https://service1.com.example.com --> https://service1.com:443
https://www.service2.com.example.com --> https://www.service2.com:443
https://service3.com.example.com --> http://service3.com:8080
(everything else denied)

(There will be 30-40 different hosts here, so I'm looking for something relatively easy to maintain.)

Is this possible with Nginx? Or is there some other proxy software that is better suited for this problem?

GeoIP and Nginx

as seen on Server Fault - Search for 'Server Fault'
I have a nginx with geoip, but it is not working rightly. The issue is the next: Nginx are getting geodata from $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] instead of $_SERVER['HTTP_X_HAPROXY_IP'], which have the real client ip. So, the reported geodata belongs to my server ip instead of client ip. Does anybody where… >>> More
