 Note: you must store `spgo.io` in a variable so that nginx re-resolves the domain when its TTL expires. You also have to include the `resolver` directive to explicitly specify a DNS server to resolve the hostname. By including the `valid` parameter to the directive, you can tell nginx to ignore the TTL and to re‑resolve names at a specified frequency. In the sample below, nginx re‑resolves names every 10 seconds.
