The sites I am trying to model are drupal-based.  We aren't dealing with
plain static HTML or PHP sites.  We have the main server, which this test
server is trying to mirror, and a secondary project server which exists to
give project people limited root access to update their own code.  The
secondary server also has drupal-based sites, but the redirections I
describe in the issue work on the secondary server.  They were never
implemented in any way on the main production server.  If I put
wiki2.example.com, it should return wiki2.example.com/wiki2.    And so if I
have site1, wiki2, and www on the main server, I can go to
wiki2.example.com/www and get the main www site, when we want the main site
to always turn up www.example.com/www.

Is this not what mod_rewrite is meant to solve?  I fully admit I am not
well-versed in apache, my prior work was mainly Windows Server and
Exchange, but I am trying to learn this stuff based on what we had set up
long before I came here.
