To all -

Thank you for your help with this. Francis put the puzzle together and the following is working out great for me.

server {
server_name
host1.domain.com
host2.domain.com
...
... (so on and so forth)

root /path/to/document/root;

location = / {
try_files /index.html = 404;
}

location / {
return 302 /;
}
}
