Re: [cobalt-users] Domain redirect

[Jim Popovitch <jimpop@xxxxxxxxx>]

You will need 2 sections to accomplish this. Something like this should
work:  The second section is the workhorse that will rewrite anything
matching ServerAlias into the exact domain.  This will cause the user's
browser to always display www.realdomain.net regarless of which domain
they entered.  Of course, your apache install must support mod_rewrite
for this to work.

<VirtualHost www.realdomain.net>
    ServerName      www.realdomain.net
    ServerAdmin     postmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    DocumentRoot    /home/site/html
    ScriptAlias     /cgi-bin/ "/home/site/cgi-bin/"
    ErrorLog        /home/logs/error_log
    CustomLog       /home/logs/access_log combined          
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost www.fakedomain.net>
    ServerAdmin     postmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    ServerAlias     *real* *fake* 
    Redirect permanent / http://www.realdomain.com
    Redirect permanent /mailman http://lists.realdomain.com
</VirtualHost>
