zap — yes the ”server” statement was there in 0.5.5. In fact I was surprised that how fast Nginx progressed over the last couple of weeks (I’m running 0.5.11 on two production sites now).

I am actually talking about “massive” virtual hosting, where you can add new virtual hosts without modifying the configuration file. Nice for a blog farm :)

For example, Lighttpd’s modsimplevhost or Apache’s modvhostalias.
