Hello shinobi,

Long time no hear, I hope all is well with you.

 sh> The Mystic BBS can be configured to listen on multiple ports with the
 sh> BINKP server. That means what could be done is to setup several BINKP
 sh> server listening on localhost. E.g. 24554, 24555, 24556, 24557, 24558.
 sh> Then You can have 5 concurrent connections from the proxy server. The
 sh> nginx can load-balance and this is how it could be done:

In my case I am using binkd. nginx is listening on port 24553 and if the tls 
handshake is successful it passes the connection to my running binkd on the 
standard port.

That's not what I would call the right way to do it.

 sh> That's about it. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I think that's all right. All this network stuff is way above my pay grade 
quite frankly. ;)

If it wasn't for Oli's help I wouldn't have been able to connect the dots.

It is my hope that the binkd developers will sit around a table at some point 
and discuss what is needed to make this happen in binkd itself in a similar way 
to how Mystic and Synchronet (BinkIT) handle these tls connections themselves.

 Ttyl :-),
         Al
