External custom domain to render from an app without change the URI in the address bar of the browser

The following works for any_subdomain.mydomain.com meaning from the app code I can detect the request URI and serve the page accordingly while any_subdomain.mydomain.com stays in the browser address bar:



server 
listen 80;
server_name ~^www.(?<subdomain>.+.)?mydomain.com$;
return 301 "$scheme://$subdomainmydomain.com$request_uri";



Now I tried the following for customer_domain.com expecting to land at mydomain.com while keeping customer_domain.com in the browser address bar, but in reality it changes the URI in address bar and my app code cannot distinguish it from mydomain.com:



server 
listen 80;
server_name ~^(.+.mydomain.com)(?<domain>)?$;
return 301 "$scheme://$domainmydomain.com$request_uri";



The following block forwards to the app.



server 
listen 80 default_server;
server_name ~^.+.mydomain.com$ mydomain.com;

location /
# omitted. serve contents.




In all cases, sub/domains are mapped using A records. CNAME is not an option. Can you help me with what I am doing wrong here?
