Its also old hat. The front server just needs to run apache and the mod
rewrite stuff to generate a page back which is a redirect to the real
site for those pages.

(BTW 2.0.36pre has the 2.1.x ip port forwarding facilities including vportfw
anyone who has been reading my diary page on that one IP address has been
