Normally you shouldn't use ssl_ocsp_responder responder at all:
instead, certificate's Authority Information Access (AIA) extension is used to obtain appropriate OCSP responder address.
The ssl_ocsp_responder directive is something to be used to manually override information from AIA extension, either for testing or for complex configurations when you want to redefine OCSP server address for some reason. If you do this, you can distinguish OCSP requests to different certificates based on the information in the requests, such as issuer name and issuer key hashes. If the OCSP responder you use is not capable of doing this, consider removing the ssl_ocsp_responder directive, so nginx will use the AIA extension instead.
(Note well that using OpenSSL's builtin OCSP responder for anything but tests might not be a good idea.)
