[Setup] Re: yet another Virtual Host Monster problem

[zoomo]

Here's my relevant setup info. I have Apache on port 80 and Zope on port 
8080.

At enom I use a URL Redirect:

     virtual.com -> http://actual.com

 From my apache httpd-vhosts.conf file is:

NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80>
     ServerName virtual.com
     RewriteEngine on

     RewriteRule ^/(.*) 
http://localhost:8080/VirtualHostBase/http/virtual.com:80/myplonesite/VirtualHostRoot/$1 
[P]
</VirtualHost>

Results: When I browse to "virtual.com", "http://actual.com" appears in 
the address bar.

Note: When I use the Tamper Data Add-On to Firefox, I see all the 
requests going out to "virtual.com/xxx" and coming back with 302, and 
then subsequent requests going out to "actual.com/xxx".
