Custom HTTP Header

Server NGINX
1

Is it possible to add a custom http header that identifies the nginx
server that handled the connection?

I have noticed a couple CDNs do this, on adds a CF1: xxXX:xxXX
location/node descriptor that shows with a curl -I

Or is there another way to do this?

Thanks!

John
