Re: [cobalt-users] Pointing a Sub Domain To a directory

["Kelly Caldwell" <kelly@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I believe yesterday, someone posted a reply on how to keep the hostname from
changing. Unfortunately, my LOCAL mail program crashed (I was reading it
WHILE it was downloading), and disappeared from my mail server.....I just
looked in the archives, but I can't seem to find the response (as I am
getting errors there too).

If you would repost....or even send it dirrectly, I would be soooo thankful.
I believe that was my solution since it would let me use scripts & local
text files to control URL redirection.

Sorry, for the repost......
