Thanks for all the suggestions. A refresh on the current SNAFU is that all
virtual domains are hosted on NT (probably half using Microswipe Front Cage)
on an IP-per-domain basis. Because of email usage, all "vdomain.com" DNS
requests are directed to the one Linux server IP address. The Linux box
would have to properly redirect each "http://vdomain.com"; request on port 80
of the Linux system to the appropriate IP address on the NT box or to
"http://www.vdomain.com";.
