A connection comes to an ip:port.

A http connection includes a specific host name in a well-known place
in the request.

An arbitrary tcp connection does not.

Untested, but: listen on ip1:1520 here, and ip2:1520 in the next
server block; then have the different host names resolve to different
ip addresses.

I can't see any other way to achieve what you want, for a generic tcp
forwarder.

hostname is irrelevant - all nginx sees is the ip:port connected to.
