[cobalt-users] Web Forwarding - The next chapter!



Hi all..
 
Was wondering if we ever got to the bottom of the web redirection issue that I was asking about?
 
To recap :-
 
I am hosting lots of sites on a name based virtual site basis.
I have been asked to register 40+ domains to our nameserver.
 
I dont really want to give them all sites on the Raq2 (waste of space), but thought instead that I would make ONE site and redirect all the requests for the other domains to this one site.
 
Ok - this is what I have tried so far:
 
1. Bunging a Redirect into httpd.conf
2. Putting CNAME's into the DNS server config along with the domain > ip A record.
3. Putting CNAME's into the DNS server along with all the normal records.
4. Attempted to do a bungled redirect mask in the actual virtual server record in httpd.conf
 
I am now thinking that maybe I should not be attempting to redirect a site that is allready on the machine and that redirects should only be done with domains that do not have a site on my box so as not to confuse apache.
 
However - this may be completely off track of course (grin) , I have had lots of suggestions from you guys but we still seem to be off the mark a little.. I am sure that this is perfectly feasable to do, and can't beleieve that it may be a RAQ issue casusing the redirects not to work :)
