RE: [cobalt-users] direct domain to specific URL

[Jarle Søiland <cobaltmail@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

http://www.kastle.net has a cgi script that do this for you, I run it on a
Raq4 myself and it will work on Raq2 and Raq3 too. You have to do some smal
modifications and use SSI and put this line in your index file <!--#echo
var="HTTP_HOST" --> And just point all your sites that you will forward to
the same IP adress. It will do the work.

Best reg.
