i dont understand what you mean here. if nginx doesnt resolve a dns-name
how should it know how to deal with it? dns-names are for humans.

yeah the issue does not seem to be on my side, I have have no issue
of nginx resolving the ip but it seems that the hosting company I
would like to proxy_pass to has the virtual hosts configured on the
dns names <br>

The question is how do I allow proxy_pass without nginx resolving the
ip-address of the host?
</pre>
</blockquote>
<pre wrap="">
but why dont you want nginx to resolve the IP?
i'm not sure this will work as expected, except you put in the ip.
but then the apache on the other side should be configred
with the ip in the virtualhost
</pre>

generally I concur but how would they be able to, in est multiple
sites on the same public ip but differentiate on dns names (this is
also achievable on nginx) with the default directing to nowhere.<br>
<br>
this would probably mean proxy_pass to a host configured to serve
multiple pages as following <br>

<font face="sans-serif">would not work. I presumed there was a option to force nginx to not resolve but I can see now this is probably not the case and I would need to change to redirect instead of proxy_pass.</font>
