If you use this script on a RaQ2 you'll need on comment out the rewrite
rules in the Virtual Host container for
the primary base domain. Then just create DNS A records for the additional
domains. You'll have to work out the email details though.  The script
author is completing a web admin gui for it also.

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 :)
