URI rewrite with port number

[microchip]

hmm, it does not seem to work here. This is what I have so far, but when
I add www at the beginning of the hostname, it can't find it. I should
note that I'm using a hostname from DynDNS but I doubt that's an issue
since I have used lighttpd in the past and it successfully rewrites

server {
         listen       *:8080 default_server;
         server_name  _;
         return       444;
    }

    server {
        server_name  xxx.xxx.xxx;
        listen       *:8080 rcvbuf=64k backlog=128;
        limit_conn   gulag 5;
        charset      utf-8;
        access_log   /var/log/nginx/xxx.access.log;
        root         /srv/www/htdocs/xxx.xxx.xxx;
        location / {
            index  index.php;
        }
