You should take a look at http://wiki.nginx.org/IfIsEvil. You're doing a whole lot wrong in this configuration file.

server {
    server_name domain.tld www.domain.tld;

    location / {
        try_files $uri /index.php;
    }

    location ~ \.php {
        include fastcgi_params;
        fastcgi_pass  unix:/etc/nginx/sockets/domain.socket;
    }
}

server {
    server_name "~^(?.+)*\.(?.*)$";
    return 301 $scheme://$domain/$sub$request_uri;
}

If what you want is to keep that internal, you won't be able to rewrite it. By definition, a cross site rewrite needs to be sent back to the browser. You'll have to proxy the request.

server {
    server_name "~^(?.+)*\.(?.*)$";
    proxy_pass http://$domain/$sub$request_uri;
}

You should read the Nginx wiki. All of this is explained in depth.
