RE: [cobalt-users] How do I redirect from one domain to another?

Hmmm, how would you do a metarefresh, or the htaccess?

This one was my favorite.  :)

Incidentally, if anyone thinks this is the best idea, I'd be interested to
see how you write PERL code.  heh.

Basically, you keep the virtual host, but delete all the files.  Then when a
user trys to snag any file, they get the 404.  You place a custom error404
that either does an http header redirect or meta refresh to kick you to the
new site.  You could (theoretically) snag the page they were trying to get
and pass that as part of the argument.  Basically its an option, but not a
good one.
