You've seen http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/request_processing.html ?

And http://nginx.org/r/listen and http://nginx.org/r/server_name ?

You need the same "listen" ip:port in all servers -- simplest is to
leave it at the default.

The you need the correct "server_name" directives in the correct server{}
blocks.

B should be the default, so put it first:

server {
return 200 "site B\n";
}

A should match the exact hostname example.com, and anything that is just
numbers and dots:

server {
server_name example.com;
server_name ~^[0-9.]*$;
return 200 "site A\n";
}

Because of the default value of server_name, a request with no "host"
will match B. You can make it match A easily enough.
