server {
    listen 80;
    server_name  (dynamic_part)-clientapp.mydomain.com;

    location / {
    }
}

Thanks in advance.

the reason the * is not working:

A wildcard name may contain an asterisk only on the name’s start or end, and only on a dot border. The names “www..example.org” and “w.example.org” are invalid. However, these names can be specified using regular expressions, for example, “~^www..+.example.org$” and “~^w..example.org$”. An asterisk can match several name parts. The name “.example.org” matches not only www.example.org but www.sub.example.org as well.

Did you try it with a regex, like as example:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name  ~(.*)-clientapp\.mydomain\.com;


    location / {
    }
}
