Awesome thanks :slight_smile:

I’ve got this, to redirect the requests, but If I request a file from
the orginal host, it won’t redirect to the same file on the ip.

rewrite ^ http://113.214.191.192 permanent;

So http://domain.com/files.txt → redirects to
http://113.214.191.192/files.txt (without the need to specifiy each
file name)

Thanks for the help
