I guess the later.  My usecase is this: I have some module inside the app
which have some reports which may take several seconds, even some minutes.
I know I could make them async, I know I have serviceVM, etc. But for the
moment I want to keep it simple. So all those request from those modules, I
want a special gem listening to them. Why? because I don't want to lock the
VM for many time and because I want a different gem conf file (assignee
more memory, etc).

So the thing is how can I make the if in nginx and send the request to the
appropriate upstream of gems.
