If it's Apache, do not use the RequestMap. You don't need it. You also
probably don't need to use an override.

For what purpose?

You probably shouldn't do anything, apart from supplying the additional
ACS endpoints in the metadata, and making sure Apache generates redirects
using the appropriate hostname in each case, which I suspect is the case.

If this is IIS, that's possibly a bit more complex but just means you will
need the RequestMap and the Host elements, but you still don't need an
override.
