nginx and asterisk server_name?

Question

Is there a way to proxy all traffic to a certain server unless the domain is something different?

Basically a * for the server_name property?

server {
  listen 80;
  server_name foo.com
}

server {
  listen 80;
  server_name *
}

Or, is there a way to set a "default" server, and then it would use it if none of the other specific server configs match?

Answer 1

As @Valery Viktorovsky's answer says, you can't use a * for server_name. You can designate a server block as the "default" to receive all requests which don't match any others. See this post for an explanation. It would look like this:

server {
    listen 80 default_server;
    server_name wontmatch.com; # but it doesn't matter
}

See the docs for server_name for more.
