Make sure you have loaded mod_rewrite.
If you really need the client to request a specific host name (because you are
using named virtual hosts), you can put the following lines in the appropriate
virtual host:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} =csquared.stanford.edu
RewriteRule .* http://wilkinson.stanford.edu/csquared/ [R]
If you want to have fun, you can also make a more general rule that redirects
any request to your site with a host name other than wilkinson.stanford.edu, to
wilkinson using the host name as first element of the path:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^\.]+).stanford.edu
RewriteCond %1 !=wilkinson
RewriteRule .* http://wilkinson.stanford.edu/%1/ [R]
No Redirect directive required. The one suggested would redirect all requests
for the root path to wilkinson, and would most probably result in a redirect
loop.

Perhaps you could give me some hints for doing this with mod_rewrite, if you
have previous experience? It looks quite involved.
Thanks again,
Paul
