Hi, there's a nice nginx config for loadbalancing a riak cluster at http://rigelgroupllc.com/wp/blog/using-nginx-as-a-front-end-for-riak
Personally, even with that in place I wouldn't open those ports up to the public without some access control system in front of it :). Unless you're doing performance testing, you could do a port forward through ssh to either your nginx machine or one of your riak machines: ssh -L 8888:localhost:80 u...@your.nginx.machine.com and then open http://localhost:8888 in your browser. Of course you'll have to change the :80 part above to your riak http port if you're connecting to a riak machine instead.
