server {  
server\_name [secure.mydomain.com](http://secure.mydomain.com);

```
       location / {
            root /var/www;
            index index.html index.htm index.php;
        }

    }

```

Seems to work well (and accepts both SSL ipv4/ipv6 since they point to  
same ip)…  
But I’d like to move ipv4-only traffic away to another ip. How is this  
done? I’m guessing I create 2 of these, specifying ipv4 in one and  
ipv6 in the other?

Ah, also, with using redirect with a request SSL then redirected to a  
non-ssl site work?
