Absolutely wild that Nginx only resolves DNS for proxy_pass once on startup.
Unless you use a variable, and then it's resolved (against a custom resolver) every 5 minutes.
Obviously.
@hugh you can buy the business version that has different default behaviour...
I hate this fact as well, but at least it's easy enough to work around
@hugh or if you pay them money you can have the version which does what it should have done in the first place.
@jon TIL, thanks!
Bold of you to assume I want to pay F5 money after this 😉
@climbertobby @hugh this kind of behavior is the reason we have distro packager, they should set sane defaults if upstream is stupid
@eloy @climbertobby It's not a setting, that's the problem.
The code behaves differently, depending on whether you pay or not 😅
The paid version does have extra stuff (like prom exports) but standard functionality is also different
