Nginx Subdomain pointing to a folder inside the main domain?

Hello

I want to ask if it is possible to have one main domain for example:

Code:

www.domainmain.com

pointing to:

Code:

root /home/nginx/domains/domainmain.com/public;

and then create a subdomain for example:

Code:

sub.domainmain.com

and point it to a folder inside the main domain like:

Code:

root /home/nginx/domains/domainmain.com/public/folderforsub;

Is that ok?

I know that is not the best way to do that for a subdomain but i am wondering if it will work or not?

Thank you
