When you telnet into the server port, add "Host: your_domain.com" before the empty line. If it fails, it means the server is picky about the hostname.

If the test above fails, yes, you'll have to.

It still might be that it refuses requests for foo.com and only accepts foobar.com.

I would say it's heading towards a Host: issue :-/

I hope it's just that, in which case it'll be an easy config fix.
