Hi,

Despite the fact that I do not need to understand why you want to have
the proxy on the same host (probably debugging/development purpose?),
your config looks quite plausible. But never I used nginx as a proxy. I
used haproxy.

There is no sense in defining a host list w/o using it.
Defining a hostlist as above just creates a list of host items, named
"hosts_proxy".

This doesn't imply any use of the list.

However, there is a main config option "hosts_proxy", which accepts a
host list - that is, a list of host items, or a list that was defined as
a host list previously:

Given your config from above

# referring to the hostlist "hosts_proxy" defined above
hosts_proxy = +hosts_proxy

or
hosts_proxy = <; 127.0.0.1; 192.168.111.11

should work.
