<directive name="proxy_bind">
<syntax>
    <value>address</value>
    [<literal>transparent</literal>] |
    <literal>off</literal></syntax>
<default/>
<context>stream</context>
<context>server</context>
<appeared-in>1.9.2</appeared-in>

<para>
Makes outgoing connections to a proxied server originate
from the specified local IP <value>address</value>.
Parameter value can contain variables (1.11.2).
The special value <literal>off</literal> cancels the effect
of the <literal>proxy_bind</literal> directive
inherited from the previous configuration level, which allows the
system to auto-assign the local IP address.
</para>

<para id="proxy_bind_transparent">
The <literal>transparent</literal> parameter (1.11.0) allows
outgoing connections to a proxied server originate
from a non-local IP address,
for example, from a real IP address of a client:
<example>
proxy_bind $remote_addr transparent;
</example>
In order for this parameter to work,
it is necessary to run nginx worker processes with the
<link doc="../ngx_core_module.xml" id="user">superuser</link> privileges
and configure kernel routing table
to intercept network traffic from the proxied server.
</para>

<directive name="proxy_buffer_size">
<syntax><value>size</value></syntax>
<default>16k</default>
<context>stream</context>
<context>server</context>
<appeared-in>1.9.4</appeared-in>

<para>
Sets the <value>size</value> of the buffer used for reading data
from the proxied server.
Also sets the <value>size</value> of the buffer used for reading data
from the client.
</para>

<directive name="proxy_connect_timeout">
<syntax><value>time</value></syntax>

<syntax><value>rate</value></syntax>
<default>0</default>
<context>stream</context>
<context>server</context>
<appeared-in>1.9.3</appeared-in>

<para>
Limits the speed of reading the data from the proxied server.
The <value>rate</value> is specified in bytes per second.
The zero value disables rate limiting.
The limit is set per a connection, so if nginx simultaneously opens
two connections to the proxied server,
the overall rate will be twice as much as the specified limit.
</para>

<directive name="proxy_next_upstream">
<syntax><literal>on</literal> | <literal>off</literal></syntax>

<para>
When a connection to the proxied server cannot be established, determines
whether a client connection will be passed to the next server.
</para>

<para>
Passing a connection to the next server can be limited by
<link id="proxy_next_upstream_tries">the number of tries</link>
and by <link id="proxy_next_upstream_timeout">time</link>.

The <literal>0</literal> value turns off this limitation.
</para>

</directive>


<directive name="proxy_next_upstream_tries">
<syntax><value>number</value></syntax>
<default>0</default>
<context>stream</context>
<context>server</context>

<para>
Limits the number of possible tries for passing a connection to the

The <literal>0</literal> value turns off this limitation.
</para>

</directive>


<directive name="proxy_pass">
<syntax><value>address</value></syntax>
<default/>
<context>server</context>

<para>
Sets the address of a proxied server.
The address can be specified as a domain name or IP address,
and a port:
<example>
proxy_pass localhost:12345;
</example>
or as a UNIX-domain socket path:
<example>
proxy_pass unix:/tmp/stream.socket;
</example>
</para>

<para>
If a domain name resolves to several addresses, all of them will be
used in a round-robin fashion.
In addition, an address can be specified as a
<link doc="ngx_stream_upstream_module.xml">server group</link>.
</para>

<para>
The address can also be specified using variables (1.11.3):
<example>
proxy_pass $upstream;
</example>
In this case, the server name is searched among the described
<link doc="ngx_stream_upstream_module.xml">server groups</link>,
and, if not found, is determined using a
<link doc="ngx_stream_core_module.xml" id="resolver"/>.
</para>
