I was thinking the same thing.  Erik - that'd be crazy to change the
domain, but the solution is simple, keep both domains pointing to the same
place.

If you guys have any issues let me know privately and I will set up the DNS
as I have access with the other project work we're doing.  Without getting
into the specific details here I have done this many many times both with a
provider DNS or a manually-edited DNS.
