[ic] Redirecting Based on Domain

[Michael Stearne]

I was thinking about mod_rewrite and may do that, but was also looking 
for an Interchange way to do it so if the application was moved there 
would be less things to configure (Interchange AND Apache).  But I will 
look at both.  
Thanks,
Michael
