I'm not sure what you're trying do to.

Maybe your question is clear to other people, in which case, perhaps
they'll answer.

If not, could you try again giving examples of "this url should result in
nginx serving this file", and "this url should result in nginx proxying
to this other url", and whatever else you want nginx to do?

It should do what the docs say -- http://nginx.org/r/alias

Can you describe what you see, and how it differs from what you
expect? (And show the config you use -- there's no "alias" in the sample
provided).

(Note that there are some bugs relating to "alias" and "try_files".)

I'm not sure that that combination is possible.

Are you trying to do something different from what

  proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8081/;

would do?
