That's how it was originally, and they went to the right VHost, *BUT*
you recall that the original problem was cookies. I had to target my
cookies to 'www.kuro5hin.org', because there are other virtual hosts in
the same domain that get a different cookie with the same name. They
need to be distinguished by hostname, and the browser won't send a
cookie targeted at 'www.kuro5hin.org' to 'kuro5hin.org'. Hence, the URL
has to read right, for everything to work.
