And it bites you right were it hurts most, if your customers
website depends in any way on absolute links to http://www.foo.bar/,
so www.foo.bar still gets all request and has to send redirects.

Worst case: customer uses all-absolute links and depends on
"www.foo.bar" in CGIs parsing HTTP Host infos or has some htaccess
tricks or whatever. I'm not an Apache expert at all so others may
comment on this. I have a horror about moving xx sites to another
host and seeing some percentage being broken.
