All works fine except the url address is a bit screwed up. For example lets say the main domain is www.domain1.co.uk, when sombody looks for www.domain2.co.uk which we host in a sub folder to which they are directed to by a defaut.asp script their url changes to www.domain1.co.uk/domain2/index.htm Is there anyway I can mask the domain so thet the browser only sees their part of the domain or just what they typed ? Your help would be appreciated.


Nutz in Midwest Posts: 141 From: Chicago None Status: offline	RE: URL masking - 5/8/2003 10:40:06 I have had the almost the exact same problem last few days. I used single letters to differentiate the sub-webs such as: www.domainname1/a/pagename.htm www.domainname2/b/pagename.htm www.domainname3/c/pagename.htm www.domainname4/d/pagename.htm I cant think of any other way at this time. To me this isn' t a drastic " revealation" to the user of whats happening. According to my info there is a way, but I think its more trouble than its worth. Maybe a few of the more experienced can help. Look for my thread of " Confused on changing server types" _____________________________ �Nutz in Midwest *chicago, therefore the Midwest in my name* (in reply to winglestar)

Then, simply forward it to the correct folder. I have this running for several domains. _____________________________ Split Testing Order Fulfillment Emergency Kits (in reply to winglestar)
