server_name supports suffix matches using .mydomain.com syntax:
server {
server_name .mydomain.com;
rewrite ^ http://www.adifferentdomain.com$request_uri? permanent;
}
or on any version 0.9.1 or higher:
server {
server_name .mydomain.com;
return 301 http://www.adifferentdomain.com$request_uri;
}

Why use the rewrite module if you can do return
? Technically speaking, return
is part of the rewrite module as you can read here but this snippet is easier to read imho.
server {
server_name .domain.com;
return 302 $scheme://forwarded-domain.com;
}
You can also give it a 301 redirect.

That should work via HTTPRewriteModule.
Example rewrite from www.example.com to example.com:
server {
server_name www.example.com;
rewrite ^ http://example.com$request_uri? permanent;
}

Temporary redirect
rewrite ^ http://www.RedirectToThisDomain.com$request_uri? redirect;
Permanent redirect
rewrite ^ http://www.RedirectToThisDomain.com$request_uri? permanent;
In nginx configuration file for specific site:
server {
server_name www.example.com;
rewrite ^ http://www.RedictToThisDomain.com$request_uri? redirect;
}
