Remove URI string? (3 replies)

Hello all -

I would like to strip all request_uri strings for a group of server names and serve up an index page.
Example:

Client requests http://host1.domain.com/blah, nginx will direct client to http://host1.domain.com and serve the index page. Same scenario for host2 - I would like nginx to direct client to http://host2.domain.com and serve the same index page.

Would the below work?

server {
server_name host1.domain.com host2.domain.com;
rewrite ^ http://$server_name;
root /path/to/document/root;
index index.html;
}

Thank you!
