rewrite ^ http://www.my-domain.com/? permanent;

(note "?")

It should be here:

http://wiki.nginx.org/NginxHttpRewriteModule#rewrite

But it looks like rewrite directive description was polluted by 
lots of semi-related user notes and currently unreadable.  Sombody 
has to throw/move them all away and re-translate original docs.

To all: please keep module docs / directive descriptions close to 
original docs if possible.  If you think that something should be 
noted - add trailing note clearly separate from documentation, or 
even add it on separate wiki page.
