[SAC] Virtual Hosts Policy

[Robert Bray]

For flexibility I would recommend:

1. Services have their own domains, e.g. svn.osgeo.org, trac.osgeo.org, 
etc. For the reason already mentioned, the ability to offload services.

2. Hosted projects have their own domain, e.g. mapguide.osgeo.org. This 
keeps them out of the www namespace and gives the root www project and 
software projects more flexibility in content, navigation, and presentation.
