Stuart, Great, I think that's ok for our situation. So the configuration variables for hostname/baseurl are only used when DSpace has to refer to itself, like in e-mails. What about links? Our DSpace works on several URLs right now (:80/ and :80/jspui via ProxyPass from Apache, and :8080 direct to Tomcat), but it's all for the same domain name.
I'm thinking we need to switch our DSpace (dspace.cfg) to the new domain, swap the Apache VirtualHost so that the new domain is the main one, and then make all requests for the old domain get 301'd via mod_rewrite.
