The value of server_names_hash_bucket_size limits the maximum
length of a server_name used. If you use long server names, set
it to the maximum name length expected (plus some additional space
for two pointers).

Everything else is not fatal when constructing hashes since nginx
1.5.13. If nginx fails to build an optimal hash with bucket_size
and max_size configured, it simply ignores bucket_size and logs an
appropriate warning (non-fatal).

Some additional information about configuring hashes can be found
at http://nginx.org/en/docs/hash.html.
