One option is to put some or all of the common configuration into an
external file, and "include" it in the appropriate location blocks.

Another option is to put all of the proxy_set_header lines directly in
server{}, outside of any location{} so that they will be inherited into
all of them. Then put the proxy_pass into the locations that matter.

Be aware of what happens if you want things slightly different in one
location{}, though -- if you wish to add an extra proxy_set_header,
the two options have different requirements.
