hmm.
confDOMAIN_NAME $j macro If defined, sets $j. This should
only be done if your system cannot
determine your local domain name,
and then it should be set to
$w.Foo.COM, where Foo.COM is your
domain name.
sounds like it should work, but not what it's intended for?
MASQUERADE_AS is more appropriate in this case I think.
