Oh, thanks for the swift replys! :)

bar.com/link works as intended, and I went in (a bit prematurely but thats
me) and changed the siteurl and homeurl in Settings->General. After that
foo.bar/link was still accessible but no stylesheet and I couldn't log back
in to the admin area.

Would be nice to know if that _is_ the right way to do it, otherwise the
problem is  somewhere else...
