Well, I thought about it, but I hoped that there's a chance I don't
need to do this ;-)

Well, I think it would be best to move these `aliases-to-be-rewritten'
to another file, where they would be looked up by conversion script
(for creating rewrite database) and some aliasfile director.

This part is done, thanks to FAQ; I look up for specific domains to be
rewritten (and only these local parts would be rewritten, which are
listed explicite).

Thanks for your answer,
