Is it possible to have named locations?? So for example:

path /foo /bar/ /baz = @folder\_set

location @folder\_set {  
…  
}

This feature would help tremendously, because I have about 300 sites I  
need to load balance, and about half will need to go to one set of  
servers and the other half will go to the other set of servers. And I  
want to avoid 300 “location” rules that are equivalent.
