Not correct. The "block.conf" as that guy mentions is only a collection of rules.

I am asking if I can have a file that is full of host names or IPs, say "blacklist.conf". Then, I want to do something like this:


if ($request_uri ~* ("/blacklist.conf") ) {
return 403;
}

if ($remote_addr ~* ("/blacklist.conf") ) {
return 403;
}


This way I can keep easily adding or removing IPs/hosts from my blacklist file instead of editing the nginx.conf file every time.

Thanks.
