The [upstream][1] directive in ngx_http_upstream_module is supposed to be in the http context.

However, I'll have more than one server inside the http context, and I would like to have multiple upstream with the same name but different servers inside.

Could I put the upstream directive inside the server context to not conflict with the names? In other words, can we have lexical scope in the configuration?

No, you can't.

If you try, you'll get:

nginx: [emerg] "upstream" directive is not allowed here in ...

You'll have to give it another name.
