BOA Nginx _HTTP_WILDCARD

I have a pressing need to dedicate a couple of IP addresses on a server to be outside nginx control. But I cannot get nginx to stop grabbing all the IP addresses in a wildcard.

I tracked the setting responsible to ~root/.barracuda.cnf and changed, then downloaded BOA and applied upgrades to both barracuda and octopus .. even after several restarts of nginx, I still have the same situation. It is claiming all IP addresses on the server.

This is creating a major issue for me right now ..

Hope someone can point me to how I can resolve it quickly.

Thanks in advance ...
