To be more precise: The GetCapabilities, GetFeatureInfo and GetPrint requests 
have to be adressed to the same domain as the start page. The GetMap request 
can go to other domains, since it is handled like an ordinary image.

To redirect requests you can either use mod_proxy of apache or include a proxy 
script as documented on this mapfish site:
http://trac.mapfish.org/trac/mapfish/wiki/ConfigureProxy
