Hi Ernie-

I had a similar problem, and it turned out to be a DNS issue.

It appears that BQ checks for an authoritative DNS resolver for a requested 
domain, and redirects the viewer to the IP provided by the authoritative 
resolver.

So if www.somedomain.com exists somewhere else and you are moving it to a BQ 
server, you need to create www2.somedomain.com on the BQ server as an alias, 
and the DNS server pointing to the BQ server.
