Ok, so when you point to browser to the domain of a Vsite and add 
/webmail to it, then I suppose it loads the RoundCube install of that 
Vsite, right?

No, that's the weird thing. 

Just so you can actually see this, I'll stop obfuscating my URLs...

When I go to mail.tcblandscapinginc.com/webmail , the URL which is displayed
on the roundcube login screen changes to
http://www.tcblandscapinginc.com/webmail/

When I go to mail.jbstonecompany.com/webmail, the URL which is displayed on
the roundcube login screen changes to
http://www.westernbroadband.com/webmail/

Let's break this down:

>>- Site is not hosted on the BlueOnyx

Well, those sites have their web server on a different system, but the
site's email is hosted on this Blue Onyx, and as long as
www.westernbroadband.com points to the Blue Onyx, it works fine that the URL
is changed. The problem only started when we wanted to point the www host to
a different server. That change caused those URL rewrites to break, so we
reverted that change.

- DNS points to the external server where that site is located

That's not accurate. The DNS for the web server (www.) on some of these do
point to a different host. The "mail." host does point to this Blue Onyx
server, and it is what I've been using (successfully) to access webmail for
those clients to assist in troubleshooting in the past.

>>- http://<externa-site>/webmail brings up /webmail on the primary Vsite
of the BlueOnyx?

No - the host name I include in the URL is pointing to this Blue Onyx host,
not a different host. 

There aren't any .htaccess files or other redirect files I can find, but
when I dug into the /etc/httpd/conf/vhosts directory, I did see something
(in the site# file) which looked like it could be related...

...
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}                !^10.1.1.27(:80)?$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}                !^www.jswatersupply.com(:80)?$ [NC]

RewriteRule ^/(.*)                      http://www.jswatersupply.com/$1
[L,R=301]
RewriteOptions inherit
AliasMatch ^/~([^/]+)(/(.*))?
/home/.sites/58/site43/users/$1/web/$3
...

This looks like it actually should create a problem, since that www host is
not located on this system (DNS gives a server in Michigan), and that may
explain why it does seem to matter if the www host for the domain is located
here or not.
