That's the second configuration I tried:
location @sub1 {
proxy_pass http://www.1google.com;
}
location @sub2 {
proxy_pass http://www.google.com;
}
location @s {
proxy_pass http://www.yahoo.com;
}

location / {
try_files @sub1 @sub2 @s;
}


I got the following log:

> 2010/12/22 20:48:52 [debug] 1637#0: *3 try to use file: "@sub1" "/Users/umesh/nginx/install/html@sub1"
> 2010/12/22 20:48:52 [debug] 1637#0: *3 try to use file: "@sub2" "/Users/umesh/nginx/install/html@sub2"

At least according to this e-mail http://forum.nginx.org/read.php?2,28297 chain, it seems I cannot use named locations in try_files directory except as the last location.

You'll need to change the names of the locations from /sub1 to @sub1 as
well as the references in try_files. Note : you can't put slashes after
the @sub[n] part (unless you put them in the named location as well),
but you can obvioiusly create the URL that you proxy to in in the
proxy_pass directive inside the named location.

The /sub1 and /sub2 I was referring to was for echo_location, which can
be a named or normal location.

Cheers,

Marcus.
