To all -

Thank you for your help with this.  Francis put the puzzle together and the
following is working out great for me.

server {
    server_name
    host1.domain.com
    host2.domain.com
    ...
    ... (so on and so forth)

    root /path/to/document/root;

    location = / {
        try_files /index.html = 404;
    }

    location / {
        return 302 /;
    }
}
