I'm not sure I understand this so feel free to ignore the rest of this post
:-), however...

I think that you have set Apache up to differentiate between different sites
based on the domain name that is supplied in the HTTP "host headers". This
information is not actually affected by DNS or by what LRP does with DNS. So
I don't think LRP is altering this information or dropping it.

If we accept that the above is true (given that I am not sure that I am
right!) then maybe the problem is that port forwarding destroys host
headers. I'm really not sure - maybe someone else on the list can comment.

I've sent Lonnie directly a long explanation of how I think host headers and
DNS interact and don't interact. As it is perhaps off-topic I have not
posted it to this list but if there's interest from the list I will post it
to the list.
