ssl redirect issue

Hi,

I have an ssl nginx setup which was working fine with one server { ssl on }.  However I have legacy ssl server_names that I would like to have a 'catch all' for that should be redirected back to the 'main' ssl server name.  Config is pasted here.

http://pastebin.com/dXU7BHaB      ( I removed some sections for brevity )


When the following lines are enabled:

    server {
        listen 443 default;
        server_name _;
        rewrite ^(.*) https://my.example.net$1 permanent;
    }

I will get:

SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length.
(Error code: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long)

If i comment those lines out, the request will go thru just fine.  However since:

    server {
        listen 443;
        server_name  my.example.net;


is treated as the default vhost,  even ssl requests for myold.example.net are serviced by this server {} and are not redirected to https://my.example.net (obviously not what I want).

Thanks for the help in advanced.
