Difficulty configuring virtual host

Server NGINX
1

good day all I want to configure my virtual hosts based on the srcip of
the client, so basically the ip of the connecting client determines what
document root to set.

Any ideas how this can be accomplished?

Ideally doing this:

if (srcip == 4.4.4.5) {
server_name test1;
root /usr/local/www/4.4.4.5;
} elsif (srcip == 2.2.2.2) {
server_name test2;
root /usr/local/www/2.2.2.2;
}

Untested. Using the geo module [1]. At the http level.

geo $root_dir {
4.4.4.5 /usr/local/www/4.4.4.5;
2.2.2.2 /usr/local/www/2.2.2.2;
}

At the server level (vhost).

server {
server_name test1 test2;
root $root_dir;
#…
}
