this one?

server
{
    listen       80 default;
    server_name  _;
    return       444;
}

because that isn't what is happening for me and i have a really basic
setup right now
as we are starting over with a new system and i'm building up from simple stuff.

the default server for me answers on all interfaces except
192.168.1.125 for which

wget 192.168.1.125

is being handled by m.example.com
