    server {
        # a catchall server for "listen 80",
        # since it's "default" server for "listen 80"

        listen 80 default;
        server_name  store1.domain.com;

        location / {
            rewrite ^   http://$host/magento/$request_uri? last;
        }

        location /magento/ {
            ...
        }
    }

    server {
        listen 80;
        server_name  www.domain.com  host.domain.com;
        ...
    }
