Best way to handle preprod server_names

[B.R.]

Hello,

Typically, I would use one directory per host to serve content from each
domain and use one config file per generic type:
http {
  listen 80;
  root /var/www/$host;

  server { # Include that section from a separate file
    server_name ~^[[:alnum:]]+(\.[[:alnum:]]+
)*\.preprod\.domain[0-9]*\.com$;
    # Pre-production rules
  }

  server { # Include that section from a separate file
    server_name ~^[[:alnum:]]+(\.[[:alnum:]]+)*(!\.preprod)\.domain[0-9]*
\.com$;
    # Production rules
  }
}

You can then create server bloc listening to specific subdomains for
particular case, i.e.:
server {
  server_name test.preprod.domain42.com;
  # Rules here have higher priority than the generic rules since the
server_name uses an exact match comparison
}

You will have to work further on regex to be sure they do what you want
them to do. ;o)
