Default virtual server & server sequence in nginx.conf

[alf]

Hello :)

I have been trying to wrap my head around this, read a lot of docs, but I just cant seem to understand, so if anyone could enlighten me.

My example:

I want to set up a default virtual server (vhost) and a spesific vhost.

1. Does the sequence of these two server blocks in the nginx.conf matter?

2. I tried something like this:

server {
  listen 80;
  server_name  mydomain.com;
  index mydomain.html;
}

server {
  listen 80 default;
  server_name  _;
  index default.html;
}

but now mydomain.com allways shows default.html. if i remove "default" and put that same (the second) server on the top it all works fine..

I would really like to know what is really going on here behind the scenes, any info much apresiated.

alf :)
