If you're rewriting from/to inside the same server{} stanza, you can
investigate using the "last" flag in the rewrite documentation:
http://nginx.org/r/rewrite

I don't know how you can achieve this across different server{}s (with
the obvious proviso that you can have more than one server_name in a
server{}).
