Hmmm....I'm not sure that would work for Apache (but then I have not
tried it).

On a standalone system the place to put a FQDN is usually in
/etc/hostname I believe. Apache probably uses this value to determine
a FQDN. 

I'm personally a little confused by how this works out in general, so
comments are welcome. Maybe I'm just flaunting my ignorance ;-)

Cheers!
