Default_server catch all block not working

[Mit Rowe]

we might need to see your whole configuration to get the full picture, but
here's an initial thought...

if your apache does virtual hosting based on the Host: header (which seems
likely from your description), you may need to pass the Host: header along,
which you can do like this:

proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
