How do I set up Jira and Confluence on a NGINX reverse proxy?

I'm currently setting JIRA and Confluence up and am uncertain how NGINX should be configured to act as a reverse proxy for both when they're both being accessed via port 80.

I currently have it set up as follows:

server {
	listen 80;
	server_name www.jira.example.net;
	location / {
		proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
		proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Server $host;
		proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
		proxy_pass http://localhost:8080;
		client_max_body_size 20M;
	}
}
server {
	listen 80;
	server_name www.confluence.example.net;
	location / {
		proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
		proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Server $host;
		proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
		proxy_pass http://localhost:8090;
		client_max_body_size 20M;
	}
}

As you may be able to tell, this code will not redirect correctly.

What do I need to change to allow NGINX to properly route traffic to the correct application?

I should mention that I've also adjusted both Confluence's and Jira's server.xml files as directed by the documentation provided by Atlassian.
