[cobalt-users] Multiple domains to a single site.

["Owen Lees" <owen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I remember this chestnut before and drawing an uncertain result.

The way I see it is that as a lot of folks (such as ourselves) have one IP
which is set to a standard site for the box.  When a client comes along and
wants to have multiple domains the only option that so far I have been able
to do is to make up loads of virtual sites with a redirect page on each one
(ie: index.html contains a re-direct header)

As I understand this, the only way to ensure redirection is if all the
domains are sitting on one machine and thats all that machine is used for..
this is impossible to justify costs wise for a small company such as
ourselves.
Otherwise I have seen (probably correct) suggestions on implementing another
IP number on the RAQ2, I have since gotten another IP and still cant get the
DNS to operate correctly, if I create an A record and point to the new IP it
comes up with the site on the original IP! (Thats even when the site to
which I wish to send redirects is sitting on the new IP happily and takes
requests for that IP directly from the browser URL line).

So there we go... stuck really!

I still need to be able to do redirection of domains to other domains whilst
the machine is not dedicated to the original domain.

Anyone help?
