I'd like to do a geo based redirect. Users who initially hit my site

would test the ip and decide if it would be better to redirect to the

http {

geo $region {
default NA;
include georegions.conf;
}

server {

location ~ ^/index.php {

}
location ~ \.php$ { fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000; include
fastcgi_params; }

First it's better to use more effective location:
- location ~ ^/index.php {
+ location = /index.php {
Or you may do it for "/" only:
location = / {
As to redirect, I think it's better to use something like this:
geo $region {
default "";
include georegions.conf;
}
server {
location = /index.php {
if ($region) {
rewrite ^ http://$region/index.php;
}
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
...
}
The georegions.conf is site specific, i.e, for NA site:
x.x.x.x/x ""; # NA net
x.x.x.x/x eu.domain.com; # EU net
x.x.x.x/x as.domain.com; # AS net
for EU site:
x.x.x.x/x na.domain.com; # NA net
x.x.x.x/x ""; # EU net
x.x.x.x/x as.domain.com; # AS net
