i'm just learning about the beautiful magic of the RewriteEngine.  could
this be a good solution for you?  in order to make sure cookies always
work properly on http://mp3.boston.com which is aliased as
http://music.boston.com, we use the following RewriteRule:

    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}   !^mp3\.boston\.com       [NC]
    RewriteRule ^/(.*)         http://mp3.boston.com/$1 [L,R]

this ensures that every request gets fixed as "mp3.boston.com" no matter
how it comes to us.  i think this is what you want.

see here for more documentation:
