Switch Requests to Content Specific to Requesting Domain

Question

Lets say I have several web sites on my web server, all as applications under one domain. How could I register other domains to point to the same web server, and redirect requests to, e.g. a web site linked to the requesting domain?

I know I'll have to have a root site, and I'm guessing I may have have to do some voodoo in the request pipline on this root site, and dispatch a changed request to the relevant sub-site.

Example, I would like acme.net and ajax.net to both point to the same address as root.net. When a browser requests acme.net, the content at acme.root.net or root.net/acme, should be served, but the user must still see acme.net in their address bar

Answer 1

Hi!

On Apache you could do something like this:

NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80>
   ServerName acme.net
   DocumentRoot C:/www/
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
   ServerName acme.root.net
   DocumentRoot C:/www/
</VirtualHost>

I hope it could be useful for you.
