i’m trying to create a virtualhost name [www2.mydomain.com](http://www2.mydomain.com)  
however when i tried to redirect the traffic, it seems that it has  
header  
Location : .mydomain.com

When I change my virtualhost into [www3.mydomain.com](http://www3.mydomain.com), it can be  
redirected very  
well.

Is this a bug?
