Does this look ok to get www.nfpfoil.com to point to
www.nichollfoodpackaging.co.uk? www.nfpfoil.com now correctly resolves
to the same IP address although the site doesn't come up.

(Veering O/T: I assume that the 'wrong' host header is being sent with
the HTTP GET, so I should request the web site hosting co to add
www.nfpfoil.com as a virtual host on the server, mapped onto the same
site.)
