Thanks for the newsflash!  In all seriousness, that's the first place I 
went; I even tried to turn on RewriteRule Debugging, to no avail.

It doesn't - or, it didn't.  Now it does, along with the other version of 
the address.

When dinking with custom .htaccess files, it's important to let Apache 
know to read those files; in this case, the file 
/opt/globalherald/elgg/.htaccess was being ignored because Apache didn't 
have the correct AllowOverride setting (in this case, 'All').  I found 
this because, when I copied the stuff from /home/josh/pubhtml/elgg_prod, 
which worked, to /opt/globalherald/elgg, it didn't.

Weird.  Are your two DNS servers on opposite coasts?  I had to migrate all 
of my DNS stuff to my registrar because my DSL provider (Sprint) does 
funny stuff with servers hanging off their lines; in this case, I wasn't 
getting half my e-mail when I did my own DNS.  So I moved it to my 
registrar, and as far as I know stuff has worked; but you're saying it 
didn't?

Could it be that 192.168.0.0 is a reserved address for local networks?? ;)
