server {
    listen       80;
    listen       IP:80;
    server_name  example.com;
    # site A
}

server {
    listen  80   default_server;
    # site B
}

"listen 80/server_name  example.com" route all requests to example.com to site A.
"listen IP:80" routes all requests to IP:80 to site A.
Anything else is routed to default server of 80 port, i.e. to site B.
