I'm having troubles setting up a reverse proxy for a sub-subdomain using nginx.

I'm trying to create a configuration which allows me to resolve:

a.b.example.com ==> a.local.host.lan

Currently i am able to resolve it as follows:

a.b.example.com ==> a.b.local.host.lan

with following configuration:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name ~^(.*)\.b.example\.com$;
    set $servername $1;
    rewrite ^(.*)$ https://$servername.local.host.lan;
}

any idea how to tokenize the $servername variable so i can split a and b?

Do you mean capture the first and second parts before example.com ? – Feb 21 '16 at 23:18
yes. I would atleast want to capture the "a" part. – Per Arne Andersen Feb 21 '16 at 23:44
"a" being what, the first segment before the dot ? `^([^.]*).*?\.b.example\.com$` – Feb 21 '16 at 23:52
