configuring nginx as reverse proxy
- by user55714
This isn't directly passenger related..but I am hoping some of you
might have tried this for sure so why not ask.
I am using passenger with nginx to serve my rails app on a virtual
slice host. I am considering putting a reverse proxy for serving
static content as well as handling etagged actions.
1 - Can I use my existing nginx installation and just change it to a
reverse proxy? Do I even need a web server? What would a typical
architecture look like in this case?
nginx rev-proxy - nginx web server - passenger?
or
nginx rev-proxy - passenger?
2 - Is nginx the best choice in this case?
3 - Can my reverse proxy reside on the same slice?
Thanks
