It has been a while Phil! I hope you are doing well. I'm not sure when we introduced this but there is a setting for "Absolute URL to site (if required)" that might be useful to you.
If that is not enough, maybe this trick will help.I run three separate domains on my site: rollerweblogger.org, linusjohnson.com and photophys.com by replacing Roller's index.jsp with this: https://gist.github.com/snoopdave/dc120ae36f63bf4a531c1aa3230bc14a Hope that helps.
