Using separate per-domain server configuration blocks is both
more efficient and easier to configure and maintain. Using a
single server configuration block for many domains requires
many "if" blocks, which are computationally intensive to
evaluate, so you should avoid using them whenever possible.
Most of the time you'll be using "if" blocks for rewrites,
so it's better to just use separate server configuration
blocks with direct rewrites.
