I don't see a pure-config way to tell nginx to redirect using exactly
the Host: header sent by the client. I think that that is probably what
you want to have.

You can "work around" it if you are happy to insist that the client uses
one specific host:port url to access the service:

server_name NAT_IP:55555;

server_name_in_redirect on;

Good luck with it,
