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...
