    I thought I was making mistakes, so I tried again.  Only
user.services.openoffice.org and wiki.services.openoffice.org are
redirected to forums.openoffice.org and wiki.openoffice.org,
respectively.  All other host names, if exist (and yes they exist), are
not redirected.

    The DNS are pointed to the same IP.  I mean the URLs (where httpd
deal with) are redirected or not redirected.

    Technically, only when the value in the "Host:" header in the HTTP
request are either user.services.openoffice.org or
wiki.services.openoffice.org, the request will be redirected.  All other
value in the "Host:" header in the HTTP request are kept intact.
