reverse proxy root folder only

[starmonche]

That was exactly what I was looking for, thank you.

I have these locations defined in my server section:

location	~ ^/[^/]*$	{ proxy_pass http://myinternalsite.com; }
location	/subfolder	{ proxy_pass http://myinternalsite.com; }
location	/		{ return 444; }

So http://externalsite.com and http://externalsite.com/subfolder both
work but everything else fails.
