Hosting 2 Meteor instances for dynamic and marketing content

We are using Nginx to host our Meteor app. I would like to have a separate Meteor instance host the marketing pages so that initial page load is much faster. When I am doing this, 2 errors happen.

  1. The images don’t load properly
  2. The websocket connection gets broken

current sites-available/app

# this section is needed to proxy web-socket connections
map $http_upgrade $connection_upgrade {
    default upgrade;
    '' close;
}

# HTTP

server {
        listen 80 default;

        server_name stage.agolo.com;

        location = /favicon.ico {
            root /home/will/portal/programs/web.browser/app;
            access_log off;
        }

        location ~* "^/[a-z0-9]{40}\.(css|js)$" {
            root /home/will/portal/programs/web.browser;
            gzip_static on;
            access_log off;
        }

        location ~* \.(eot|ttf|woff)$ {
            root /home/will/portal/programs/web.browser;
            access_log off;
            add_header Access-Control-Allow-Origin *;
            add_header Vary Origin;
            add_header Pragma public;
            add_header Cache-Control "public";
           expires max;
        }
        location ~ "^/packages" {
            root /home/will/portal/programs/web.browser;
            access_log off;
        }

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade; # allow websockets
        proxy_set_header Connection $connection_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr; # preserve client IP
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
    }

    location /splash {
         rewrite ^ http://stageportal.agolo.com$request_uri? permanent;

}
