-<li> Araneida cannot configure network interfaces, nor will it
-administer your DNS for you.  Before getting too involved in a virtual
-host configuration that's not working, check that the hostname(s)
-you're planning to use are set up and pointing to the right machine.
-
-<li>The communication between Apache and Araneida is HTTP, or at any
-rate it's good enough that you can (local firewalling ordinances
-notwithstanding) if you need talk directly to Araneida using a web
-browser.  A request to http://HOST:PORT/ should get you the root page
-of your Araneida installation - if that works, the problem is in
-Apache-land.

-have to be (and in fact, usually aren't) the same as in PORT and NAME.
-BASE-URL is the server's <i>published</i> address - in a normal
-configuration, Apache will be listening to these and will forward
-requests onto Araneida on HOST:PORT.  You can see this in <a

+have to be the same as in PORT and NAME.  NAME and PORT give the
+address that Araneida will start a server on, whereas BASE-URL is the
+server's <i>published</i> address.  If you're using a forwarding proxy
+(recommended for production sites), you should configure the proxy
+to answer for BASE-URL and forward requests onto Araneida on HOST:PORT
