You need to tell nginx it should accept requests for the different
cross-domain FQDNs you're using, and proxy_pass them in nginx as
appropriate.

Then arrange for your app to make its requests to nginx, not the
unreachable cross-domain server.
You may need to hosts-file the FQDNs on your app server if you can't
change the app and make it separate its understanding of the HTTP Host
header ("cross.domain.whatever.com") from the actual IP it should talk
(nginx).

It's a pretty simple setup.
We *could* write the nginx config to do this for you, but we'd be
depriving you of the excellent learning experience you'll get doing it
yourself ;-)

Have fun!
