How to tell nginx to use a forward proxy to reach a specific destination
Hello Kevin.
Thank you for your answer.
For the moment, as the server name, I created an alias DNS which target the IP of the nginx server.
<ALIAS DNS OF NGINX SERVER>
If I set the server name as the DNS alias of the gitlab host instead, the servers in the secure zone won't go through nginx, no ? They will contact the DNS servers and they will try to connect directly to gitlab host, which is not possible, because they are in a secure zone without direct access to the gitlab host.
Tell me if I am wrong. How can your solution work please when there are DNS servers involved ?
Best regards.

If one of these is best/most complete follow up then you can (or I can) delete the others as duplicates.
Sorry about the hassle.

Thanks pepito - I think I've got it all sorted out. Thanks for your patience and for contributing to our community.
(Note: The reason you could edit some replies and not others is because there is a time-limit on editing Questions and Replies in our forum. I think the cutoff is 24 calendar hours. This is a feature designed to protect the integrity of a question so MemberA does not edit a question several days after it has been answered in a way that then invalidates any answers.)
