Hi,

Currently I have in operation a reverse proxy with nginx. All good.

The problem is that now need to include in the configuration, the  
reverse  
proxy, a subdomain that points to another server.

As I can do? You have some sample configuration for this?

My apologies for bad English.

## Thanks!

No, this is a bad way to solve it. Please see

Instead, set up a separate server block for that subdomain:

server {  
server\_name m.mua.es;  
…  
}

If you want to avoid repeating large blocks of configuration across  
multiple server blocks, use the include directive.

Cliff

ok, I’ve solved using the IF statement.

for example:

if ($http\_host = m.mua.es) {  
…

Thanks.
