Hello, We are using nginx as a loadbalancer in front of docker containers. Most of the time this works without problems. But sometimes (~0.1% of the requests) the requests are sent to the server group name instead of one of the members of the servergroup.
upstream gateway { server 127.0.0.1:6000 weight=1000000; server 1.2.3.4:6000; } server { listen <ip>:443; ssl on; server_name <public dns>; <ssl config> location / { proxy_pass http://gateway; } } Most of the time the requests are logged as expected: 03/Feb/2016:04:00:25 +0100 "/api/v1/login" 200 52 "Jersey/2.7 (HttpUrlConnection 1.8.0_51)" "time=0.192" "<public dns>" "upstream=127.0.0.1:6000" or 03/Feb/2016:04:00:25 +0100 "/api/v1/login" 200 52 "Jersey/2.7 (HttpUrlConnection 1.8.0_51)" "time=0.192" "<public dns>" "upstream=1.2.3.4:6000" But randomly this happens: 03/Feb/2016:04:00:25 +0100 "/api/v1/login" 502 52 "Jersey/2.7 (HttpUrlConnection 1.8.0_51)" "time=0.192" "<public dns>" "upstream=gateway" As you can see, it uses the server group name as the upstream target (which fails of course since this is not a valid host). What could be the cause of this behaviour?
