How do i make it detect that

if ( $remote_addr = "something.dyndns.org" ) {

instead of

if ( $remote_addr = "1.1.1.1.1" ) {

meaning, how do i make it such that something.dyndns.org is translated into 1.1.1.1 and recognized by nginx for the above example?

Please help. thanks

Was it something like this you where looking for?

if ($host = 'something.dyndns.org') {rewrite ^ 1.1.1.1.1 permanent;}

not host but remote host address translate into ip
