Googling is about the worst way to set up an nginx server configuration! The only tutorials and helpful snippets out there are riddled with bad practices.
Here's a list of "pitfalls" that are commonly used and really shouldn't: http://wiki.nginx.org/Pitfalls http://wiki.nginx.org/Pitfalls
I notice that you're using a lot of "if" statements. I hope you've read this http://wiki.nginx.org/IfIsEvil http://wiki.nginx.org/IfIsEvil. I understand that in this case it might be harder to find alternatives for the if-statement, haven't looked into what you need really deeply.

- jacques_chester 14y agoIt's been a few years since I cobbled this one together and I recall reading the IfIsEvil web page. I vaguely recall that at the time there was some limitation on how try_files worked that made it necessary to use ifs, but for the life of me I don't remember what. The rtCamp configuration I linked to earlier makes use of try_files and says he has support for both supercache and domain mapping, so I think I'll migrate to that.
