Question about rewrite

[Sasa Ugrenovic]

Ok, thanks. That was helpful.

However, Im don't fully understand the last directive.

# last - completes processing of rewrite directives, after which searches for corresponding URI and location

How will it effect if i have multiple rewrite rules ?
To be exact.. i have a file, mobile-phones.conf which is included in vhost nginx config, for my primary domain.
And it looks something like this:

#       if ($http_user_agent !~* "Profile/MIDP") {
#               rewrite   ^/   http://www.anotherhost.com/;
#       }

#       if ($http_user_agent !~* Windows\ CE) {
#               rewrite  ^/   http://www.anotherhost.com/;
#       }

So on.. around 10 rewrite rules.

Basicly... question is, do I use 'last' directive on all of those rewrite rules, or just the last one in mobile-phones.conf list ?

Kind Regards,
Sasa
