This only applies to HTTP requests though, AFAIK. The easiest work around, I 
figure, is a translation proxy that you run (locally) and channel all requests 
through. This proxy could look up the virtual mapping from a local domain to a 
"legacy" domain and vice versa. Not big on proxies myself, so not sure how 
feasible it'd be to either build a custom one, or to adapt an existing one.

Off to look through Squid...
