port forwarding and host headers

Hi, I have a EX5601-TO router with a static ip address. I've set up port forwarding on various ports without a problem, but when I try to port forward 80 to an nginx homeserver it will forward traffic for one domain name with DNS set to the static ip, but not to another. When I had the remote management set to allow WAN it would serve the router homepage and never touch the nginx server, but the other domain was hitting nginx and serving traffic fine.

It appears the router is filtering based on the host header, but I can't see any settings anywhere that mention this.

Has anyone seen this before or have an idea how it could be fixed?

    If you have one WAN IP a simple router how can you run two port 80?

    If your running multiple webservers with one IP-address by reverse proxy (not played around with this) and nginx to be the forwarder of port 80 you can't have router remote management on port 80 too
