However this would not be the complete answer to the problem.

The easiest way to do this is to set your ServerName variable in httpd.conf
to www.iae.univ-nantes.fr. As long as your (or your ISP) is resolving all
.univ-nantest.fr to the same IP this will work however if (and I assume this
is the case) there is a separate IP for each domain name then DNS will need
to have the CNAME www.iae added (ie the new name added to the DN server) and
pointed at iae.univ-nantes.fr.
If the server's real name is iae.univ-nantes.fr then changing the ServerName
will not affect outside access to the web site so you shouldn't have to
worry about LOS and your boss.
You should also look into the vertual hosting functions of apache.
