Map Module and Domains

Server NGINX
1

Ok, I was reading up on the map module and it seems the right way to do
this, howeaver I really couldnt think of a way to do this (without just
using the if alternative way).

Blocking domains is what I want to do, my server blocks are per IP
accepting everything for any domain, howeaver I want to filter certain
[blocked] domains away by way of proxy passing or redirecting to another
URL.

And I take it that the first block is the ‘default’ so I should add my
‘bad-site’ block last like you have? Just clarification.

I really like the way you did this, way more clean than the if based
system
I was planning to use (and less evil).

You can use another server block for that domains.
How nginx processes a request

server {
listen 192.168.1.1:80;
…
}

server {
listen 192.168.2.2:80;
…
}

server {
listen 192.168.1.1:80;
listen 192.168.2.2:80;
server_name blocked.example.org .filtered.net badsite.;
…
}

It doesn’t metter if you add default_server parameter to the right place.
Module ngx_http_core_module
