Just to be clear, for the sake of the archives, problem was that the
'main' domain for the box, chismtrail.com, was _already in
virtualdomains_ when then above single redirection was issued. IMHO

change their mental default to append, a double redirect. You only need
to get burned by this type of thing once to be paranoid for life.
