Maybe I'm not explaining myself correctly, maybe your suggestions are the right way to go, but I see a lot of nginx examples such as this:<div><br></div><div><span style="font-family: lucida,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; border-collapse: collapse;"><table style="border-collapse: collapse; text-align: left; background-color: rgb(204, 204, 255); width: 993px;" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2">
<tbody style="border-top-width: 0px;"><tr><td style="font-family: lucida,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">upstream phpproviders {<br> server <a href="http://127.0.0.1:3000" target="_blank">127.0.0.1:3000</a>;<br>
server <a href="http://127.0.0.1:3001" target="_blank">127.0.0.1:3001</a>;<br> server <a href="http://127.0.0.1:3002" target="_blank">127.0.0.1:3002</a>;<br> }<br></td></tr></tbody></table></span><br></div>
</blockquote><div><br>:) yeah, that works fine. I just saw the phrase "additional (fastcgi) requests" - and immediately thought u meant to refer to a priority system... (ie. where "all requests go to this box. Until it's loaded. Then send the additional requests to that other box!")<br>

<div><br></div><div>inside the location / tag you would specify:</div><div><br></div><div>proxy_pass <a href="http://phpproviders" target="_blank">http://phpproviders</a></div><div><br></div><div>nginx in the simplest (default mode) would round robin the requests.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Is this not a good type of methodology?</div><div><br></div></blockquote><div><br>it depends really on what you want/need. If you want a simple setup, this could do. And if there is nothing requiring you to stick each request to any particular server (since you have session management in memcache; assuming you have enough memory, and dont have to forcibly retire sessions ahead of their intended expiry time!!!), then this could very well work for you.<br>
