How the shared host was setup to point two domains at the site wasn't even  
mentioned iirc.

Frankly it's even possible that the host themselves is actually taking  
whatever 'extra domain' you give them and doing a dumb 301 or frame  
redirect instead of just doing what a ServerAlias would do.

Btw, we use HTTP_HOST first not SERVER_NAME.
