Nginx poorly handles load distribution.. for instance "request queuing". You
wouldn't be able to achieve this with nginx but only with haproxy (you can
use nginx as a reverse proxy as pound is often used); and this is because
nginx does a dumb round-robin... with HAproxy you can limit the number of
outstanding requests per each app. That is to say you can avoid potential
dead locks queue on your server with HAproxy.

I would advise against using Nginx as a load balancer, reverse proxy? yes...

Cheers,
