Uhm, if you configure your webserver to send /version12/ to one  
instance of HTTP (I would use fastcgi), and then in your application  
use uri_for to generate urls, the root should be set and appended  
automaticly. I rely on this all the time when developing, and it works  
quite nicely, untill someone forgets to use uri_for in one place :)
