Is it bad practice to select upstream servers based upon the HTTP method?

I'm wondering if it is bad practice to have a reverse proxy that selects the upstream server depending on the HTTP method used?

The background is that I have an abitrary web server that handles POST requests with some logic behind. The same resources also co开发者_如何学运维ntain static content, that can be retrieved using GET. After some benchmarking I realized that nginx would handle the static content way faster than my abitrary web server doing this.

I checked the option to forward incoming requests internally using nginx, which is feasible.

But this would lead to the fact that different servers would serve a distinct resource, only depending on issuing a GET or POST, including different header fields.


No, it's not bad practice, partitioning the tasks by the nature of the task is perfectly fine, as long as you don't need to store persistent per-user-session data on the server.
