Actually you have the apache config file setup wrong. Use
the host names in the virtual hosts portion of the config
file, and there is at least one other config option that
specifies what name to use for generated links. That should
be set so the incoming name is used. All about how to do
this is in the apache documentation. Just follow the
procedures for setting up a virtual host. That's what I
did, and it worked the first time.

I just route via port forwarding all port 80 requests to the
same machine/IP#.
