Hi, I’m using Nginx with Phusion Passenger, and I would like to render  
some responses from Rails App even though file exists at that URI on  
server. I want to do this based on subdomain from which request is  
coming. Is something like that even possible? I’ve managed to do  
redirect based on this conditions but it would be better if I could do  
that internally, without change to URL.
