The version of Apache running on the new web servers has a bug.

HTTP_HOST = inwap.best.vwh.net
SERVER_NAME = inwap.com
SERVER_SIGNATURE = "Apache/1.3.19 Ben-SSL/1.42 Server at inwap.com Port 80"

If you enter a directory URL that is lacking a trailing slash
(like http://inwap.best.vwh.net/u/joe), the web server send back a
response redirecting the browser to the correct URL.  Unfortunately it
is sending "http://inwap.com:80/u/joe/" instead of
"http://inwap.best.vwh.net/u/joe/".  That is, $SERVER_NAME is set
to `uname -n` instead of $ENV{HTTP_HOST}.

Currently, "inwap.com" points to my old dialup static IP address, not
a web server.

Warning: Check you own links.  Put trailing slashes on all HREFs that
point to directories.

Your account is not migrated yet. It is only copied to the new machine.
When the migration is completed, DNS will be modified so that both
'inwap.com' and 'www.inwap.com' will resolve to the same IP as
inwap.best.vwh.net.

Since Verio doesn't control my DNS, and neither medieval.org nor
www.medieval.org are Verio-owned hosts, is your migration system
going to work for me at all?  (The current Verio-owned web host is
larue.medieval.org, so if you switch the reverse, I can certainly
switch the forward.)

Your new account will be set up as USERNAME.best.vwh.net with it's own
IP. It will be up to you to modify your DNS as desired.

I can certainly do that for forward DNS, but will you be setting
the correct reverse on the IP and setting the server name variables
accordingly?
