Changing Domain Name With Redirects Under Nginx

[Brent W]

We are going to be changing a domain name soon and want all the previous urls to work.

See this post by @Jake Bunce http://xenforo.com/community/threads/apache-redirects-to-nginx-help.61178/#post-654428

Those redirects are currently in place.

We are changing the domain from 3.7mustang.com to v6mustang.com

What we need to happen is that all the previous vBSEO redirects under 3.7mustang work but eventually be passed on to the v6mustang.com we are changing to.

What is the best way to do this under nginx?

From a google search:

Try implementing that. But if both domains are parked on the same server then try implementing separate server blocks (instead of using an "if"):
