This might be a good time to mention that with the rails 3 redesign,
you can specify much more powerful constraints from within the router.
Katz's website has a nice article on it:
http://yehudakatz.com/2009/12/26/the-rails-3-router-rack-it-up/
The part I found most interesting was this:
Basecamp::Application.routes do
constraints(:subdomain => "support") do
match "/foo/bar", :to => "foo#bar"
end
end
As it turns out, you can swap :hostname (or :host) into the place
of :subdomain and setup different routes for different domains.
Using this in combination with some sort of hostname checking in a
before_filter is all I needed for my project. No need for any URL
rewriting in nginx.
Hope that helps.
