Interesting aside. I didn't even know domain proxies existed, although I'm sure that's common knowledge, and a fairly obvious thing to create.

Can you walk me through the way you discovered the hostname? If I `telnet pandalized.com 80`, I don't get anything interesting back.

Ah .. I got it. telnet in, then print some garbage, causing the server to respond with an error. This comes from the main Apache instance, rather than the individual virtualhost, and that has the hostname you mentioned. Clever.
