I want to configure Nginx as a reverse proxy. But i want to configure it only for a part of subdomain, which is dyanamic. I tried with * and it didnt work. Can anyone help me here.
server {
listen 80;
server_name (dynamic_part)-clientapp.mydomain.com;
location / {
}
}
Thanks in advance.
the reason the * is not working:
A wildcard name may contain an asterisk only on the name’s start or end, and only on a dot border. The names “www..example.org” and “w.example.org” are invalid. However, these names can be specified using regular expressions, for example, “~^www..+.example.org$” and “~^w..example.org$”. An asterisk can match several name parts. The name “.example.org” matches not only www.example.org but www.sub.example.org as well.

Did you try it with a regex, like as example:
server {
listen 80;
server_name ~(.*)-clientapp\.mydomain\.com;
location / {
}
}
