So using for example:

.example.com
or
example.*

have more complexity or it shoud have full list of subdomains for better performance:

www.example.com
example.com
example.somedomain.com

My configuration include one file with server{} per domain.
exaple.com.conf
example2.conf
etc

The main improvement i'd like to implement is to have one file with php config like fastcgi.conf above and then include it in every server{}
Map module gives me this opportunity.
