Nginx redirection - how to disable redirection for a particular URL?

We have set up nGinx redirection on 3 nodes, node1, node2, node3. Everything is working fine now. We have one small requirement. We need one particular URL to load from only one server. Is it possible by tweaking this configuration.

I will paste our present configuration of node1 here.

  upstream project.in {
    server node2:8080 weight=10 max_fails=3 fail_timeout=30s;
    server node3:8080 weight=10 max_fails=3 fail_timeout=30s;
  }

  server {
    listen 80;
    server_name www.example.in;
    location / {
      proxy_pass http://example.in;
    }
  }

According to the above configuration, what ever traffic which comes to node1 will get shared between node2 and node3. Our requirement if somebody access http://example.in/test/administrator/ it should go only to node1. In other words we need to disable load balancing for this particular URL. Is this possible by tweaking the configuration file?

You should add another location section with overriden proxy_pass

location / {
    proxy_pass http://project.in; # your upstream name for load balancing
}

location /test/administration/ { # excluded location
    proxy_pass http://node1:8080; # goes to another backend
}
