My work around for this problem has been to maintain a sub-domain DNS
record and two apache directives, one for publishing and one for
serving.  Something like:

<VirtualHost *.*.*.*>
DocumentRoot /usr/local/www/data/username/
ServerName domain.com
ServerAdmin webmaster at domain.com
ServerAlias www.domain.com
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/local/www/data/username/cgi-bin/
User username
Group username
ErrorLog /usr/log/domain.com-error_log
TransferLog /usr/log/domain.com-access_log
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *.*.*.*>
DocumentRoot /usr/local/www/data/username/
ServerName publish.domain.com
ServerAdmin them at domain.com
</VirtualHost>

This requires copying domain.com:80.cnf to
publish.domain.com:80.cnf. Maybe this will work for you.
