I'm not sure what exactly you mean by that.

nginx can listen on one or more address:port combinations, for http
or https.

Each hostname that your client will try to connect to will resolve to
one address (at a time) that the client will try to use.

If your client connects to an address:port that nginx is listening on,
nginx will have to do some work to process the request. If you do not,
nginx will not.
