Generally the ViewVC URLs are different only in that they contain
"/viewvc/" in them...I've already been thinking about ways I could get
around that, by changing around my ScriptAlias value. But your
mod_rewrite + vhosts idea seems doable...I'll give it a go and post
configuration here if I'm successful.

I saw this page but it only talks about Berkeley DB backends and
doesn't mention FSFS anywhere. It would make sense that it's doable
with a database, but I'm more concerned with how it handles it with
the filesystem repository. Do you know if this is supported with
FSFS?

Thanks,
Jeff
