Shared nginx configuration for multiple servers

[Ondrej Jombik]

Yes, I can confirm this, it is not evaluated.

So probably I need to do:

     if ($hostname eq 'servername1') {
         include /etc/nginx/conf.d/servername1.conf;
     }

But I read on MANY places that using if() is evil.

Now I do not know what to do.
Can some expert suggest a prefered way?

Thanks

Ondrej
