Ok, I see the "no resolver defined to resolve www.example.com" message
when I make a request that matches that location.

Unless something has changed recently that I haven't seen, my understanding is:

if the hostname is known at start time, nginx will use the system resolver
to resolve it, and will use the result forever

otherwise, you must use a "resolver" directive to tell nginx which name
servers to use for runtime resolution.

http://nginx.org/r/resolver

There is no default for "resolver"; if you want one to be used, you must
configure it explicitly. So I think the answer to your question is "no".

(You could probably come up with a way to read /etc/resolv.conf when it
changes, and update the nginx config and reload it; but that's a "dynamic
reconfiguration" problem, not an "nginx dynamic reconfiguration" problem.)
