I don't think I need access rules because I have Apache in front - setting up 
the instance with VirtualHostMonster did the trick ;-) (Don't know why we 
having been using that before - looks much easier to use than SiteRoot's)

Anyway - it rewrites urls for more than it needs.
In the subdomain page, I have a catalog search that lists some items located 
elsewhere on the portal.
Usually the url to them is e.g. www.mydomain.com/item1 but now they have been 
rewritten to folder.mydomain.com/item1

Anyway I can avoid that?
Because at a later stage I need to make a catalog search on the Identifier, 
and then it finds nothing because the domain is wrong :-(
