Did he give you your own IP#?

Does your client control the DNS for pooltotaal.nl?  If so, then have
the RaQ administrator put in "www2" (without the quotes) as your
hostname, and "pooltotaal.nl" (also without the quotes) as your domain
name.  Then put in an A record for "www2.pooltotaal.nl" into the zone
file for "pooltotaal.nl".  Then redirect from both pooltotaal.nl and
www.pooltotaal.nl to "www2.pooltotaal.nl".

If you don't want the typed in url to change to "www2.pooltotaal.nl"
then he needs to comment out one of the RewriteCond lines for the
domain's virtual block in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf.

If you're sharing an IP# he probably also has to create a new
ServerAlias line for "www.pooltotaal.nl".  Additionally, on the RaQ3
series and above, you/he should check "web service for domain" when
setting up the site.
