Direct quote from Pitfalls and Common Mistakes: Taxing Rewrites:
By using the return directive we can completely avoid evaluation of regular expression.
Please use return instead of rewrite for permanent redirects. Here’s my approach to this use-case…
location = /content/unique-page-name {
return 301 /new-name/unique-page-name;
}
