Alias which works like in other web servers

[marc at corky.net]

Hi,

I appreciate everyone's suggestions!

Would it not be wise to create a type of alias that most people are 
comfortable with (and think is logical, due to their previous experience 
with other web servers) ?

It seems that such an alias would simplify configurations of this type, 
which to me look pretty common and useful.

Thanks
