Yes, this parameter sets default server for given listen pair, "*:80" in
this case. Actullay, "default_server" is just alias to a "default". I've
introduced this name, because people treats the "default" parameter in

listen 80 default backlog=1000 ...;

as related to backlog, etc., although it means just default server for
given listen pair.
