[plug] Apache Server Alias

[michaelbaker at westnet.com.au]

Well if DNS was configured right. Apache shouldnt even see the
request.....

media.mydomain.com. IN CNAME google.com.

Would make http://media.mydomain.com open up on Google's web server
provided I reload the records with a new serial.

If it is the same server tell apache about media. before *. :)
