Unable to make NginX load balancing

I am new to the nginx config.

I am trying to do a load balancing example with nginx and wcf rest service in windows platform.

Here is what I have in my conf/nginx.conf file:-

upstream servers_customserver {
server 127.0.0.1:62133; 
server 127.0.0.1:64897;
server 127.0.0.1:64921;
}

server {
listen 8070;       

location /test {
proxy_pass  http://servers_customserver/;             
}

My motive is whenever, I try to enter a website name which contains "/test" then redirect to one of the urls in the "servers_customserver".

Nginx is fine in localhost:8070.

But whenever I did localhost:8070/test, I am getting "404 Not Found nginx/1.12.0" in the browser. I am sure that my services are up.

Do, I need to work with my services in IIS or any webservers to make this to work?

Could some one guide me in solving this error.

Thanks.

Luckily,

After adding the following steps to the location block, the load balancing stuff works for me.

        proxy_set_header   Host   $host;
        proxy_set_header   X-Real-IP  $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host @server_name;   
        proxy_redirect off;

Thanks.
