Accessing Reporting Services by other than machine name.

When reporting services is installed the machine name is configured by
default eg: http://MAIN/Reports, however, if I try to access the
reporting services machine by other than the machine name I receive an
error.
I'm trying something along the lines of
http://testing.xxxx.com/reports. Am prompted for the username and
password and can login without any issue, however, I can't display any
of the reports because the URL points to http://MAIN/.... rather
than the fully qualified domain name.
Just wondering what I'm doing wrong.
Thanks in advance,
CNTo further clarify the issue, currently the ReportServerUrl in the
RSWebApplication.config (ReportManager Folder) includes an entry to
allow the ReportServerUrl to be specified.
Original Value <ReportServerUrl>http://MACHINENAME/ReportServer/</ReportServerUrl>
Modified Value <ReportServerUrl>http://www.domainname.com/ReportServer/</ReportServerUrl>
With this change and restarting reporting services everthing works
okay if you login as a basic user/browser (can navigate and view
reports), however, if you then try to login with an administrative
account ... you can't. You continually receive an error message "
There is an error in XML document (1, 1225).
".
If you switch the value in the configuration file back to the machine
name everything is accessible again except the reports can't be
viewed.
Hence my dilema - am I doing something wrong or is this an issue with
the current release of reporting services?

use it like this:
<ReportServerExternalUrl>testing.xxxx.com</ReportServerExternalUrl>
the system will detect if the user access the site from the .com URL or from
the internal (http://main) url and setup the right links etc...
