Well, I don't know what was wrong with my DNS or Apache configuration, but whatever it was it seems to be working correctly now, thank Murphy.

I've been getting some poignant messages from a friend in Iraqi Kurdistan. He and his family are headed from Erbil into the countryside to avoid, if possible, the ravages of this war. I believe they are more fearful of an attack from Saddam but of course nobody wants to be "collatoral damage," regardless of whether the fire is friendly, or as I heard a BBC announcer put it during the last Gulf War in their famously understated way, "rather less friendly fire."

Anyway, I'll post some excerpts from Delshad's emails on my personal blog and reflect it here when I get a moment.
