Well, bugger me !!  It works, thanks !  Upon closer inspection, I can see
that the request that I was typing in was getting a / appended somewhere,
perhaps by me, not sure now.  I just type in http://10.10.10.2/netsaint and
it got the redirect, so maybe I was adding the /.

Not quite sure if I understand exactly what Apache is doing here, but I
guess it processes the request for /netsaint and decides the it needs to be
redirected to /netsaint/ and includes the ServerName value in the redirect?
Relevant lines from the config files included below.

Cheers
Michael

Alias /netsaint /usr/local/netsaint/share
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/netsaint /usr/local/netsaint/sbin
<Directory /usr/local/netsaint/share>
	AllowOverride AuthConfig
	order allow,deny
	allow from all
</Directory>
<Directory /usr/local/netsaint/sbin>
	AllowOverride AuthConfig
	order allow,deny
	allow from all
	Options ExecCGI
</Directory>
