Wouldn't help, I suspect, since the previous server provides
multiple virtual hosts, and would have to be accessed *as*
"wiki.alu.org" to get the right content. [Yes, one can in theory
write a client which spoofs the HTTP/1.1 "Host:" header, but I
don't know of any standard browsers that will do that.]

I'm still trying to find out just exactly what happened myself.
If I do, I'll report back...
