Weird problem

nginx.conf:


#user nginx;

error_log  logs/error.log;

    worker_connections  1024;

    server {
        listen      *:80;
        server_name  mars.jlkhosting.com;

        
        location / {
            root   html;
            index  index.php index.html index.htm;
        }

        error_page  404              /404.html;

        error_page   500 502 503 504  /50x.html;
        location = /50x.html {
            root   html;
        }

        location ~ \.php$ {
            root           html;
            fastcgi_pass   127.0.0.1:9000;
            fastcgi_index  index.php;
            fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  /scripts$fastcgi_script_name;
            include        fastcgi_params;
        }

		location ~* \.(jpg|jpeg|gif|css|png|js|ico|html)$ {
        	expires max;
		}

        location ~ /\.ht {
            deny  all;
        }
    }



include /usr/local/nginx/sites-enabled/*;
include /usr/local/nginx/conf/fastcgi_params;
}

Typical site config:

server {
listen vivid-tube.com:80;
server_name vivid-tube.com  *.vivid-tube.com;
index index.php index.html;
root /home/jim/vivid-tube.com/html;

location / {
error_page 404 = //index.php;

if ($host ~* www\.(.*)) {
  set $host_without_www $1;
  rewrite ^(.*)$ http://$host_without_www$1 permanent;
}

location ~ \.flv$ {
    flv;
}

location ~ .php$ {
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include /usr/local/nginx/conf/fastcgi_params;
}
}



Currently that domain is pointing to nginx doc root and you can confirm by
going to http://vivid-tube.com/phpinfo.php. You'll see that the php variable
"_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"]" is "/usr/local/nginx/html/phpinfo.php". Earlier
that domain was pointing to another domain. Later it will point (hopefully)
where it should...

I've reloaded and restarted nginx and even rebooted the server. No luck.

Any parts of your nginx.conf?

I’m setting up a new server, consolidating some smaller ones into the new
one. I’ve installed nginx 0.7.38 and I’m using BIND as a nameserver. I have
checked my domain.host files and they all look fine.
 
I’m moving domains a few at a time. As I move them I change the IP’s of the
child nameservers to point to IP’s on the new server. This results in fairly
quick propagation and within a short period if I flush my cache at my home
PC I am directed to the new server.
 
I am using the same nginx.conf as I use elsewhere, except for the server
name and number of child processes. I use the same site config files. I am
using the same paths
 generally /home/jim/domain.tld/html for a document
root, and I am using the same version and configuration of php and php-fpm
with the same user and group. The only difference in my nginx binary is that
I have added support for h.264 streaming but I have removed that with the
same results so I doubt that can be an issue.
 
The problem is that each time I add a domain for anywhere from 6-24 hours
nginx serves pages from a different domain on the new machine. Or sometimes
it defaults to serving from /usr/local/nginx/html. I’ve confirmed the paths
that it is calling “document root” and that the IP’s are from the new
server. After this amount of time nginx starts serving documents from the
correct directory/doc root.
 
Any ideas?
