Django rewrites URL as IP address in browser - why?

I am using django, nginx and apache. When I access my site with a URL (e.g., http://www.foo.com/) what appears in my browser address is the IP address with admin appended (e.g., http://123.45.67.890/admin/). When I access the site by IP, it is redirected as expected by django's urls.py (e.g., http://123.45.67.890/ -> http://123.45.67.890/accounts/login/?next=/)

I would like to have the name URL act the same way as the IP. That is, if the URL goes to a new view, the host in the browser address should remain the same and not change to the IP address. Where should I be looking to fix this?

My files:

; cpa.com (apache)
NameVirtualHost *:8080

<VirtualHost *:8080>
