## 3. Nginx Configuration
### Current Status: ✅ PROPERLY CONFIGURED
**File:** `frontend/nginx.conf`
### SEO Routing (NEW)
```nginx
# SEO files - proxy to backend for dynamic generation
location = /robots.txt {
proxy_pass http://backend:8080;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
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-Proto $scheme;
proxy_cache_bypass $http_cache_control;
add_header Cache-Control "public, max-age=3600";
}
location = /sitemap.xml {
proxy_pass http://backend:8080;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
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-Proto $scheme;
proxy_cache_bypass $http_cache_control;
add_header Cache-Control "public, max-age=3600";

```
### Benefits
