There is another way to solve the above problem as well.  Apache
has a directive called "UseCanonicalName" that will cause the server
to use ServerName variable to reconstruct the URL when there are
self-referencing URLs.

Around like 199 of the global http.conf (/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf),
you can set the UseCanonicalName to off.

For more info see:
