When selecting server{} based on server_name nginx will look only
through server{} blocks which have the listen socket defined.

That is, if you have

server {
listen 80;
server_name default;
}

server {
listen 10.1.2.3:80;
server_name example.com;
}

nginx will never consider "default" server if connection comes to
10.1.2.3:80. All requests to 10.1.2.3:80 will end up in
"example.com" server as it's the only server defined for the
listen socket in question.

More details may be found here:

and in docs.
