Well.. I did this:
1) The LSoft cgi shows up at http://listserv.vt.edu/cgi-bin/wa.cgi - we
left that basically out-of-the-box (intentionally - if we don't change it,
we don't have to document what's changed from the LSoft software/docs ;)
2) In our apache configuration, I have:
RewriteRule Ø/$ http://4help.vt.edu/resources/listserv/ [R]
In other words, if you go to 'http://listserv.vt.edu', you get redirected
to our '4-help' written documentation with all the local goodies.
This solved a lot of problems - I don't have to maintain documentation,
people who write docs don't have to bother me to update content, and all
the chocolaty-goodness that comes from preventing sysadmins from writing
HTML when we have professional doc writers on staff. ;)
Of course, this trick only works if you have a user services staff that
runs a documentation server already ;)
