I don't think that is technically possible because of the way that whole http thing works. Browser expects to get reply's from the server they requested information from. They don't open ports and wait for servers to connect to them. Also, web server doesn't connect to anyone, they just open ports and wait until some browser ask some information. So, what you asking is not technically possible.

Hi,
I have a question about nginx configured as a load-balancer. Usually, when HTTP requests are balanced to a back-end server, the HTTP reply is sent back to the client through the load-balancer. Is this also the case for nginx, or is it also possible to configure nginx that the backend server will directly respond to the client? I wonder...
Thank you, Andrej
