Pointing two URLs to the same doc root apparently can give search engines gas. I’ve thus changed my apache httpd.conf by specifying 301 redirects instead!

<VirtualHost *>
        ServerName tin.blogdns.com
        #DocumentRoot /Volumes/SnO2 ### OLD BEHAVIOUR
        RewriteEngine on
        RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://eddiema.ca/$1 [L,R=301]
</VirtualHost>

Excellent… In case you’re lost, the old behaviour made it so that going to tin.blogdns.com would just forward the content from the server without changing the URL; now the URL is correctly rewritten and content is served first hand from eddiema.ca instead.
