<div class="gmail_quote">Hi,<br><br>I&#39;m completely new to nginx - I&#39;ve just started using it a day ago, but I&#39;ve managed to set up a reverse proxy szenario with nginx as a front end and 3 apache servers (2.0.63) as the backend servers.<br>

<br><b>The strange thing that is happening is: sometimes the pages are not
displayed to the user, but it just freezes, i.e. the page is not
loading, BUT when I kill the nginx process (the only connection to the
outer world) all files from the current request (that was hanging) are
served immediately. It seems like the buffer is not written to the open
connection and killing nginx causes nginx to release the connection and
thus the data on it?!?!<br>
<br>
Can anyone help solving the Gordic know as per why the data is not
send, but the request hangs? Is nginx waiting for something before
sending the request out? If so why and more importantly: can I turn
this behavior off? </b><br><br>The apache servers are listening on the following addresses:<br><ul><li><a href="http://192.168.0.1:80" target="_blank">192.168.0.1:80</a> -&gt; web1<br></li><li><a href="http://192.168.0.2:80" target="_blank">192.168.0.2:80</a> -&gt; web2<br>
