yes, $1 replaces (.*). but in this case, you really don't need regular
expressions. you should be able to use the rule I sent you (it's
equivalent, well in theory at least!).

I personally prefer things like sites-avaiable/www.domain2.com.conf
(with a .conf or whatever suffix) for two reasons:
- a file name ending in a .com is a bit disturbing ('ls' will show it as
a special fil...; you can't send it via email without renaming it, ...
etc.).
- I don't like the "include *". if you happen to add a file in the
directory (or if you editor creates backup files in the current dir),
then these end up being included.
