Others will probably laugh me off the list, but my recommendation for such things is to use the Apache ProxyPass stuff. My mail server here contains all the web interface controls/etc on the mail server itself. My webserver has a simply ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse statement to make it appear as though everything resides on the one web server, and thus, one domain. The advantage to this, as well, is there are no direct connections made to my mail server for the web interface through the firewall, since everything from outside is hitting my dedicated web server.
