This functionality was stripped out of Blue Quartz.  If you really want it
back, it is not hard to add.

The script that handles this is:

/usr/sausalito/handlers/base/vsite/unique.pl

Remove these lines:

my @oids= $cce->find("System");
my ($ok, $system) = $cce->get($oids[0]);

# don't allow system FQDN as the vsite FQDN
my $system_fqdn = lc($system->{hostname} . "." . $system->{domainname});
my $vsite_fqdn = lc($vsite_new->{fqdn});
if ($system_fqdn eq $vsite_fqdn) {
      $cce->bye('FAIL',
"[[base-vsite.systemFqdnNotAllowed,fqdn='$vsite_new->{fqdn}']]");
      exit(1);
}


When you do that, you can add in a vhost that has the same name as your
box.  This way you dont have to do any nasty hacking on the Sausalito DB,
or any additional symlinking.

Thanks!
