Nginx 1.9 adds TCP load balancing support if you compile Nginx with the following configure options below: Code: --with-stream --with-stream_ssl_module Official documentation below still is vague as to what you can do: Module ngx_stream_core_module Module ngx_stream_ssl_module However, this thread's purpose is for me and you (if you want to contribute) is to compile a list of links or web sites with info explaining how to use Nginx stream support. Example links for Nginx stream usage: Official Resource: TCP Load Balancing - NGINX Official Resource: MySQL High Availability with NGINX Plus and Galera Cluster For load balancing memcached servers NginxのTCP Load BalancingがOSS版でも使えるらしいので試す - あすのかぜ (in Japanese) Code: stream { upstream backend { server 192.168.0.2:11211 weight=5 max_fails=3 fail_timeout=30s; server 192.168.0.3:11211 weight=5 max_fails=3 fail_timeout=30s; } server { listen 11211; proxy_connect_timeout 1s; proxy_timeout 3s; proxy_pass backend; } } Centmin Mod Nginx 1.9 Stream Support Centmin Mod .08 beta 02 latest update has support for Nginx 1.9 stream modules.
