I need to be doing this in IIS but I wanted to see first how it was  
done in Apache. The reason behind masking the url like this is for SEO  
purposes as well as user experience. Actually my example wasn't quite  
right. This is how we need it to work:

myapp.domain.com/folder points to www.domain.com/folder

How would you do this in Apache?
