如何使用Nginx反向代理首页/根目录？

Question

I'm interested in sending folks who go to the root/homepage of my site to another server.

If they go anywhere else (/news or /contact or /hi.html or any of the dozens of other pages) they get proxied to a different server.

Since "/" is the nginx catchall to send anything that's not defined to a particular server, and since "/" also represents the homepage, you can see my predicament.

Essentially the root/homepage is its own server. Everything else is on a different server.

Thoughts?

Answer 1

location =/ {
    # only "/" requests
}

location / {
    # everything else
}
