Description: There are lots of individual web service apps with their own baseurl deployed on staging.
The final API is designed to run off a single base url, e.g. http://api.gbif.org

It would be good to simulate this already on the staging server, for example to reach all web services under http://staging.gbif.org/api/
A rewriting would be needed to set this up, but it would also free us from having various web service url configurations in our applications and profiles.]]>

Important for deploying, but suggest it premature to do this *at this stage*.

Assuming this request came because we wish to deploy the nub services, I propose they be done on a public beta/dev URL, as it is feasible the services will change before launch, and then we get disappointed clients.

No, this came from never knowing where exactly which part of the API is hosted.
When you look into our WS API documentation it reads as if it was a single baseURL and you need to know your way around the staging apps:
http://dev.gbif.org/wiki/display/POR/Webservice+API

It would also simplify our configurations quite a bit and would allow to test the entire api as it is designed
