I think perhaps my use of the word 'integration' was a little
grandiose. The general server setup is PHP fastcgi with a WordPress
installation.
The link to the PayPal account is via a simple HTML form with a price and
submit button.

In nginx, the variable $server_name is the first entry for the server_name

So, however PayPal is grabbing it's information, it gets the first entry in
the server_name directive. And that's my only option?

Well, assuming my above statement is correct, then only the server_name
directive is relevant?

It is a pretty trivial setup: http://pastebin.com/SdaB1ZW4
