Re: [cobalt-developers] Viewing a virtual site before domain is resolving correct

[Taco Scargo - Sun Holland - Leiden <Taco.Scargo@xxxxxxx>]

If you are happy to edit your httpd.conf file, you can add the following line to 
any VirtualHost section, which enables browsing another site through that site,
using an url like: http://www.cobalthost.com/site/www.newsite.com/

AliasMatch ^/site/([^/]+)(/(.*))? /home/sites/$1/web/$3
