Hi,
we're looking into that. Note that this kind of "masking" usually requires the
server that hosts the "vanity domain" ;) to play proxy for all data that is
requested through that "nice" domain.
Something like:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://geoimages.berkeley.edu/worldwidepanorama/$1 [P,L]
does the trick, but at quite some bandwidth penalty for the hoster... (read AND
write all data, actually doubling the throughput...)
