Ah, I see .. that makes sense now.

Actually, you may be able to support this configuration in Virtualmin
already, if you are talking about a server that has the DNS hosted
elsewhere. Because the apache virtualhosts that virtualmin creates are
like :

<VirtualHost *>
ServerName www.foo.com

All you would need to do is add a directive to httpd.conf like :

NameVirtualHost 1.2.3.4

where 1.2.3.4 is the IP that www.foo.com resolves too. Even though
virtualmin thinks that the IP for the foo.com server is the main IP for
your system, the website will still work.
