Marcin, I'm also curious about your statement about security hole when spoofing 
a domain name via mod-rewrite. Isn't mod-rewrite *all* about spoofing URL's 
(which can include domain name part)? OK, it is used to remap URL trees for 
moving / restructuring a website (which is not spoofing) but it is also used to 
allow for more user-friendly URL's that are then mapped to various servers, web 
apps etc, which *is* a kind of spoofing. Similarly, manipulate domain name 
given by client to infer real URL to use in backend (also kind of spoofing).
