However I think in practice, couch app developers demand that the URL looks reasonable. Benoit mentioned that vhost and _rewrite are already becoming very popular with developers. For my curiosity, what happens when a vhost setting is wrong? Ie, Bob > set a vhost to be blog.gene.com which should really go to Gene's > couch? Or when there's no vhost set at all?

However service.com will only honor those for which a DNS query returns a CNAME back to bob.service.com. Since bob cannot modify DNS records in gene.com, he cannot steal blog.gene.com. -- Jason Smith Couchio Hosting
