the point, which i think lots of folks have forgotten, is that there are
security problems with using DNS names controlled by your customers in
your VirtualHost statements.

it's a really convoluted attack, and depends on the ordering of the
virtualhost sections.  i went over it several times in the archives when i
implemented these changes.

if folks want to revamp the model that's cool, but it's probably worth a
search to go over the details again.
