this would probably work to log any unknown host headers/missing host
headers, right?

        server {
                listen 80 default;
                server_name _;
                return 404;
                access_log /var/log/nginx/unmapped.log;
                root /htdocs/unmapped/;
        }

another question:

is there any reason to require the ending slash "/" ?
                root /htdocs/unmapped/;
as opposed to:
                root /htdocs/unmapped;

i used to think it was required but it seems to work properly now
without the slash too.
