Does this work for you:

error_log   main_error.log;

http {
    error_log   http_error.log;

    server  {
         server_name   one;
         error_log     http_one_error.log;
    }

    server  {
         server_name   two;
         error_log     http_two_error.log;
    }

    server  {
         server_name   three;
         # will log in    http__error.log;
    }
