Are you using VirtualHosts and ServerAlias? If you do, then you
will get what you expect from cgi progs as well (I *think*?).
alas:
<VirtualHost 1.2.3.4:80>
ServerName www.betaversion.org
ServerAlias kali.betaversion.org
...
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost 1.2.3.4:8080>
ServerName www.betaversion.org
ServerAlias kali.betaversion.org
...
</VirtualHost>
or, if you don't use VirtualHosts, use the UseCanonicalName
directive

As you see, this depends on configuration.

Stick with this, IMHO. The configured name is of less interest,
right?
