It sounds like you may have better luck letting other server{} blocks use
expected server_name:s; and just let the default match everything else.

But I'm not exactly sure what it is that you do want to do and don't
want to do.

Have you a list or a pattern of which endings should match the first
pattern, and which the second? Because if you do not, you cannot
expect nginx to know that one.two.abc should be handled differently
from one.two.xyz.

If you can specify the problem exactly, it may be possible to arrive at a solution.

If you can't, it probably won't be.

What should happen to a request for a.b.domain.co.uk? Or
www.b.domain.co.uk?

Good luck with it,
