before i go just trying this:

# UseCanonicalName:  (new for 1.3)  With this setting turned on, whenever
# Apache needs to construct a self-referencing URL (a URL that refers back
# to the server the response is coming from) it will use ServerName and
# Port to form a "canonical" name.  With this setting off, Apache will
# use the hostname:port that the client supplied, when possible.  This
# also affects SERVER_NAME and SERVER_PORT in CGI scripts.

ServerName is www.arkham.ws and ServerPort is 80, so it should be passing
http://www.arkham.ws:80/ for a self-referencing URL yes?  i would hope apache
is smart enough to not try and lookup that name first.  hmmmmmmmmm.

who's having trouble?  i'll try change this later this afternoon and see if it
makes a difference for you guys.
