 * We are trying to share a single host name, sharing it between another webapp 
   and with wordpress. The environment is:
 * Apache 1
    Has a virtual host entry for site1.cxm Includes a proxy pass for site1.
   cxm/path to go to site2.cxm All other traffic goes to another app that we want
   the end user to see as the same basic url (minus the extra path)
 * Apache 2
    Has a virtual host entry for site2.cxm Running with php Has wordpress-
   mu on it
 * Issues:
 * Apache 2 (wordpress mu on it)
    When telling wordpress mu that its site url is
   site2.cxm, all of the links that are built are for site2.cxm but we want them
   to be site1. That said, the pages do load but the URLs on the pages are not what
   we want.
 * When telling wordpress mu that its site url is site1.cxm, somewhere in wordpress-
   mu it seems like it sends a 301 back to the browser saying its moved to site2.
   cxm (its like it detects that is host name != site url) resulting in an endless
   loop 301.
 * Has anyone tried to do this – share a host name between two apps (one app being
   wordpress-mu) with the path in play being the splitting logic?
