Nginx (proxy) and Node.js on different machines?

Question

Nginx

Can NGINX forward a request to Node.js on another machine if Node.js doesn't have FastCGI support?
Do I understand correctly that there should not be a problem here, since Node.js is a server in itself and supports TCP / IP without FastCGI?
This is the first time I'm faced with a similar issue. Please answer not in monosyllables (yes / no), but at least slightly disperse the fog.

Answer 1

yes - you can
location /test/ {
proxy_pass http://123.4.5.6:3000;
}
