http://nginx.org/r/split_clients says it is from
ngx_http_split_clients_module

which your nginx builder explicitly removed.

It's probably simplest to build the nginx that you want, or to acquire
a nginx that includes the things that you want.

Probably not without doing more work than using the module that is
designed to do the thing that you want to do.


Note, though, that by using an external redirect in 10% of requests to
one server_name, you will possibly end up much more than 10% of users
on the other server_name, because a user on that one will possibly stay
on that one. That may not matter in this case.

Good luck with it,
