With a backend (like php) you are always bound to what the backend can handle, nginx is just a portal here. The amount of backends should be balanced with the best balance setting like leastconn/iphash, ea: http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/load_balancing.html and also consider Lua for managing/offloading backends. So its not really a number game but a distribution one.
