Upgraded to Nginx 0.6.20.


I tried once again to use:

http {
    map $host $backend {
        hostnames;
        .cellarstella.com 127.0.0.6:8000;
    }


    server {
        server_name cellarstella.com www.cellarstella.com;

        location / {
                # proxy_pass http://127.0.0.6:8000; # this works
                proxy_pass http://$backend;
                include /etc/nginx/proxy.conf;
        }
    }

}


But I get this in the error log:


2007/11/29 10:35:52 [error] 2698#0: *28 no resolver defined to resolve 127.0.0.6, client: 67.189.89.59, server: www.cellarstella.com, request: "GET / HTTP/1.1", host: "www.cellarstella.com"


Is "map" not yet supported for proxy_pass or am I just doing it wrong?
