Hi there,

You've got a working nginx.conf, so all is good.

I'll just add some small points about curl, which may make future
testing easier.

It is possible to use "-4" to tell curl to only resolve names to IPv4
addresses -- that might avoid that problem.

You can use something like

  curl -i -H Host:domain.name http://127.0.0.1/thisfile.php

to connect to the desired address, and then send the required domain
name in the Host: header which nginx will use to choose the server{}
configuration to use.

Glad it's all working now.

All the best,
