 I would imagine that this infinite redirect problem occurs when you access
 a host that wordpress is not configured for, so it redirects you to the
 one that it is configured for, correct?

 If so, it should be disabled by default.  Seeing that wordpress has had a
 long line of security vulnerabilities, I have mine running inside of a VM.
 That VM is accessed through a proxy, by the host name of "wordpress".  So,
 I would imagine that the redirect is occuring because it thinks that
 "wordpress" does not match my host, and therefore it should redirect to
 the one that I have configured.

 The problem with all of that though, is that it is forcing the user into
 something they may not want.  What if they made a typo in the
 configuration?  Then, they are toast, and cannot access their wordpress
 blog, unless they are a savvy user.
