How to load nginx config dynamiclly like apache .htaccess?  
Many people talk about it, but I still can’t find a way to make it work.

Anather question:  
If I “mv access.log access.log.old”, will access record be logged in  
cache or dropped befor I create a new access.log?  
If logged in cache, how many access record can be logged in cache? After  
cache is full, will access record be dropped?

Yo u cant it requires a stat, just use the main nginx config, if you  
realy  
need .htaccess use “include” and include the file in the zone (not  
dynamic).  
Id recomend just using 1 config file per site, something like  
/etc/nginx/sites/domain.com.conf
