[cobalt-users] re: web forwarding (att: Jeff)



Thanks for coming back to me on this one Jeff.
 
Whilst I was away (last 3 hrs) I have been playing with ideas like redirect url url in the httpd.conf file and so forth but to no avail.
 
So - to answer your neatly put questions:
 
>>I am sure that its a simple DNS entry but would appreciate a pointer as I
>>have just been given 40 domains to do this to!  (They all need to point
>>towards 1 website).

>Depending on who hosts DNS, and whether the sites all have their own IP# or
>not, you may be able to do this in DNS.  We've done it both in DNS and
>using redirect scripts in a very small webspace.
>Are the sites name-based or IP#-based?
The sites (all of them) are name-based , but not yet entered into the virtual hosts as I was trying to keep file space for other things :) (however we'll enter then asap when ready) - have been testing with existing domains.

>Do you host all the sites that need to be forwarded?  Do you host the
>destination site?

We hold all the sites, and will host all of them. Its the intent to forward all http traffic to one site for a customer with loads of domains.
However the trick would be useful to know how to go to externally hosted domains as well.
 
 
>Do you host DNS for all the sites that need to be forwarded?  Do you host
>the destination site?
I host DNS for them all and host the destination site too, (above variance also applies).
 
Thanks a lot for your help ongoing on this one Jeff, I have looked elsewhere and other users of this list have attempted to help (thanks),
