Admittedly this is on an RAQ4 but, I just entered 1 'A' record in the dns
for the domain that is to be redirected.
ie

www.redirect.com --> www.destination.com

That seems to work just fine. I'm not sure if the GUI is the same for the 3i
but i'm sure you must be able to add dns records somewhere there.

Boy that sure sounded nice and simple, but, I tried it - the Raq3i GUI does not allow me to enter a name for the destination IP, it says:
-------------
This IP address is not valid. A valid IP address consists of four numbers between 0 and 255 separated by decimal points. For example, 192.168.25.77 is valid.
-------------
I guess the DNS setup in the GUI doesn't know what DNS is for :)

Any other thoughts ... modifying the httpd.conf is certainly an option, although I'd prefer to not have to do that, I will if I have to. Anyone know how to do it in HTML, if so, I'll just create the other site and redirect them.

Thanks,
