This parameter lets binding the proxy connection to a non-local address.
Upstream will see the connection as coming from that address.
When used with $remote_addr, upstream will accept the connection from real
client address.
Example:
proxy_bind $remote_addr transparent;
Added (RTLD_NOW | RTLD_GLOBAL) to dlopen() test. There is no RTLD_GLOBAL
on FreeBSD 2.2.9.
Added uint32_t test, with fallback to u_int32_t, similar to uint64_t one.
Added fallback to u_int32_t in in_addr_t test.
With these changes it is now possible to compile nginx on FreeBSD 2.2.9
with only few minor warnings (assuming -Wno-error).
Before 7142b04337d6, it was possible to build the OpenSSL library
along with nginx, and link nginx statically with this library
(--with-openssl=DIR --with-ld-opt=-static --with-http_ssl_module).
This was broken on Linux by not adding -ldl after -lcrypto.
The fix also makes it possible to link nginx statically on Linux
with the system OpenSSL library, which never worked before.
When configured, an individual listen socket on a given address is
created for each worker process. This allows to reduce in-kernel lock
contention on configurations with high accept rates, resulting in better
performance. As of now it works on Linux and DragonFly BSD.
Note that on Linux incoming connection requests are currently tied up
to a specific listen socket, and if some sockets are closed, connection
requests will be reset, see https://lwn.net/Articles/542629/. With
nginx, this may happen if the number of worker processes is reduced.
There is no such problem on DragonFly BSD.
Based on previous work by Sepherosa Ziehau and Yingqi Lu.
This fixes --with-file-aio support on systems that lack eventfd()
syscall, notably aarch64 Linux.
The syscall(SYS_eventfd) may still be necessary on systems that
have eventfd() syscall in the kernel but lack it in glibc, e.g.
as seen in the current CentOS 5 release.
This is done by passing AI_ADDRCONFIG to getaddrinfo().
On Linux, setting net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 to 1 will now be
respected.
On FreeBSD, AI_ADDRCONFIG filtering is currently implemented by
attempting to create a datagram socket for the corresponding family,
which succeeds even if the system doesn't in fact have any addresses
of that family configured. That is, if the system with IPv6 support
in the kernel doesn't have IPv6 addresses configured, AI_ADDRCONFIG
will filter out IPv6 only inside a jail without IPv6 addresses or
with IPv6 disabled.
This includes "debug_connection", upstreams, "proxy_pass", etc.
(ticket #92)
To preserve compatibility, "listen" specified with a domain name
selects the first IPv4 address, if available. If not available,
the first IPv6 address will be used (ticket #186).
in the sys_nerr test.
o When sys_nerr and _sys_nerr are missed on a particular platform
and our euristic for a maximum errno detection applied always
print the maximum errno number we reached instead of printing void.[*]
* patch from Maxim Dounin
This commit makes possible to build nginx on AIX 7.1.
NetBSD 5.0+ has SO_ACCEPTFILTER support merged from FreeBSD, and having
accept filter check in FreeBSD-specific ngx_freebsd_config.h prevents it
from being used on NetBSD. Therefore move the check into configure (and
do the same for Linux-specific TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT, just to be in line).
This configure test must run before auto/make, because it adds library.
auto/unix was placed after auto/make just for historical reasons.

Solaris strerror() invalid error code behaviour depends on version:
Solaris 10 returns "Unknown error" and sets errno to EINVAL,
Solaris 9 returns "Unknown error" and leaves errno intact,
Solaris 2 returns NULL.
