To answer my own question I have found that this code in
LocalSettings.php works:
if( ereg('mysite.co.nz$', $domain) ) {
$_GET['useskin'] = 'myskin';
} else {
$_GET['useskin'] = 'monobook';
}
For some reason $_GET is necessary the use of $_REQUEST does not have
the same effect.

Hi everyone.
I am using $wgDefaultSkin to set skin preferences from
LocalSettings.php based on the domain the request is coming from.
The problem is that user preferences override this choice. Is there is
way to force the skin selection regardless of user preferences?
