Indeed, there is no problem if all of your resources use relative links.

However, if they generate absolute links, which many apps do (:-(), 
VHostMonster is to the rescue. It replaces stuff like the hostname in 
the request object with the 'external' one, so when code builds URLs 
with it, they're externally referenceable.

But VHostMonster reportedly doesn't work with Nevow, yet.
