Load balancing based on hash of the domain

[Bram]

Problem is that it will not accept anything besides $remote_addr and $request_uri.
For example:

    upstream loadbalancer {
        hash $server_name consistent:
        #hash $request_uri consistent;
        server 10.0.0.1:8080;
        server 10.0.0.2:8080;
    }

Will fail with:

invalid number of arguments in "hash" directive in /etc/nginx/nginx-loadbalancing.conf:6
