Hi,
Can i have:
server{
listen 80;
server_name domain.com www.domain.com;
root /dir1;
}
server{
listen 80;
server_name sub.domain.com;
root /dir2;
}
Without adding an A-record for sub.domain.com’s DNS?
TIA,
Nuno

You need a wildcart in DNS, A-record or CNAME for *.domain.com.
Yes, because nginx isn’t needing the name to resolve to different
locations.
Your DNS zones should send all request to X ip address.
Then nginx will just read in the HOST header from the http request and
load the appropriate server entry from your configuration.
Does that make sense?

Yes. Server_name is just string that will be matched on ‘Host’
header got in request. It doesn’t matter if this string is valid
domain name or not.

Thanks David and Maxim.

I have 3 a-records at the moment: domain.com, www.domain.com,
sub.domain.com (i guess these two could maybe be replaced by cname).
I assumed domain.com would be the same as *.domain.com, but i guess
not.
If i set *.domain.com, i assume nginx will redirect
nonexistant.domain.com to the default server or, if no default is set,
to the first one that matches… would that be domain.com or the first
alphabetical subdomain?
