[support] Issue with multisite url creation for edit forms action parameter...

[Tao Starbow]

I think I am faking Drupal out with the proxy pass.

www.citris-uc.org -----> Server1 --- (Proxy to: 
server2.berkeley.edu/citris) ---> Server2
I am going to see if it is possible to redo our DNS entries to skip 
having to do the proxy & then see if that fixes the problem.
