Yes, because nginx isn’t needing the name to resolve to different locations.

Your DNS zones should send all request to X ip address.
Then nginx will just read in the HOST header from the http request and load the appropriate server entry from your configuration.

Does that make sense?

Subject: Split-server{ } subdomains.

Hi,

Can i have:

server{
listen 80;
server_name domain.com www.domain.com;
root /dir1;
}
server{
listen 80;
server_name sub.domain.com;
root /dir2;
}

Without adding an A-record for sub.domain.com's DNS?

TIA,
Nuno
