Good question. Honestly spoken, I don't know. The evaluation order is different, but I don't see any spectacular usage for this other than having a domain remapped to another (which I usually do by utilizing virtual_maps). As far as the reference configuration provided with OMA is concerned both will work. (tested, works) The best explanation I could find withing thirty minutes is [1] (German).

Let us forget about Cyrus for now. And Jaume, should we ever meet for a apple cider or two: you won't be allowed to leave until you fully understand that other programs virtual domains - alternatively you will may buy off yourself by memorizing all my emails (even/especially the German ones) about the omitted topic. -- W-Mark Kubacki [1] http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-de/2006-12/msg00128.html
