Moodle erroneously redirects to schoolserver.lan/moodle (bad enough on LAN, worse on WAN) #10

Description

@holta

Regardless of IIAB's host name (schoolserver.lan is deprecated in favor of box.lan, and can also be further customized beyond that) — and regardless of whether user is coming from the LAN or WAN of IIAB server — Moodle incorrectly redirects to http://schoolserver.lan/moodle in all conditions.

Crude Interim Fix:
Moodle could be hard-coded to redirect to http://box.lan/moodle/*

Improved Interim Fix:
Moodle could be hard-coded to redirect to http://172.18.96.1/moodle/*

Better Interim Fix:
Moodle could be redirected to http://<actual-server-host-name.lan>/moodle/*

Real Fix:
Moodle really should retain http://ip-address-OR-server-name-SPECIFIED-BY-THE-USER/moodle/* in all conditions, for WAN (campus) users as well as LAN (local hotspot) users.
