Add nginx local balancer port configuration variable

 non-master Kubernetes node. This is referred to as localhost loadbalancing. It
 is less efficient than a dedicated load balancer because it creates extra
 health checks on the Kubernetes apiserver, but is more practical for scenarios
-where an external LB or virtual IP management is inconvenient.
