Thanks. I did try that but for now I have created a seperate virtual until I
have time to sort this out.

I am still a newbie, but here goes..  Are you using CNAMES?  And on that
note, do you want "ancient-roots.co.uk" to point to "ancient-roots.com"
(which is what I imagine you want to do)???  On our RaQ4r, I noticed CNAMES
suck, and the only way I was able to accomplish the task at hand was to set
up the DNS for "ancient-roots.co.uk" like you would for any other site..
Then, go and edit the site settings for "ancient-roots.com" and add
"ancient-roots.co.uk, www.ancient-roots.co.uk" to the   "Web Server Aliases"
box.  Then just save everything, and try that..  I had a site
"inshorefishingcharter.com" and he wants "tarpon-florida.com" to point to
the same site, and I did it this way and it works like a charm...  Hope this
helps you!
