www.blah.com

and the client wants two more domain names to point to the same pages (dont
ask why.... beats me, in reality they want about 4 domains pointing to the
one)

www.blah.org.uk
www.blah.co.uk

I dont think this is something to sort in the GUI, on previous web Apache
boxes I've run I just bung a new Virtual server directive in with the same
doc root and log files within that directive. However, I know Cobalts are
just a bit more complicated than this. For instance, the links in
/home/sites/ and the clever Mod Rewrite stuff in the httpd.conf.

Do I just replicate (subtly altering) the existing Virt directive for each
of the new domains, and also create links accordingly in /home/sites? 

This is on an XTR.

thanks for comments

Hi

Provided you have set up DNS for the additional domains to point to your
XTR, you only need to add them in the web server aliases box of site
settings GUI (with and without www) seperated by commas. You can also add
them to the mail server aliases box if you wish to have mail go to a
catch-all account.
