backend rewrite of subdomains

[Eden Li]

server {
  # no server_name statement

  set $subdomain "index.html";
  if ($http_host ~ "^(.+?)\.") {
    set  $subdomain  $1;
  }

  rewrite  ^/(.*)   http://staging.example.com/$subdomain/$1 last;
}

probably works.  Note that "_" isn't a valid domain character.
