Thanks for the tips!

I changed the code to support multiple chat rooms as follows

- ServerAlias *.host  -- in apache conf

- change the variable history to be history[origin]

- change the variable clietns to be clients[origin]

Is working really quite nicely.  I havent baked in encryption, but it could
be easily added via AES say and a bookmarklet or greasemonkey script...
