Hello Motty,

I'm a little bit confused by your question. If your goal is to serve different URLs by different backends, the config will look like this:

location = /app2 {
# this will strip "/app2" from the request to the backend
# e.g. user request of: /app2/index.do?foo=bar
# will be routed to app2 backend as:
# /index.do?foo=bar
proxy_pass http://app2.server2.com/;
}

If your goal is to return HTTP 301 permanent redirect, it will be:
location = /app2 {
return 301 $scheme://app2.server2.com/;
}

Please be sure to read the following info (it's pretty short actually):
http://nginx.org/r/location
http://nginx.org/r/proxy_pass

Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with 3rd-party modules, so I cannot advise on them.
