Behavior of server depends on a file name

[Dave Cheney]

The default site for a listener is the site marked

server {
	listen 80 default;
}

if no servers are marked default then the first server defined (which  
depends on the order that include /*.conf is evaluated) will be the  
default server.

I get around this problem by defining a site called default.conf which  
includes the listen 80 default; stanza.

Cheers

Dave
