Makes perfect sense to me. Once a visitor hits your website using a name-based virtual-host domain name, then Apache will continue to use that name for the rest of their visit. So redirecting to the domain name of your choice deals with the aforementioned issues, even though it might be a little bit more complicated to set up - not that much though ;) BTW - without putting this thread into OT territory, have you seen TEXTPATTERN CMS? Well worth taking a look at. It's GPL'd OSS, with a great community of developers and contributors. Disputed to be 'THE' only CMS you'll ever want to use. http://textpattern.com/ The Many Reasons to use Textpattern With a browser-based interface in over 40 languages, excellent support and full range of features, it's no wonder that publishers, designers and developers everywhere choose Textpattern.

Also take a look at the links in the LH menu, under 'External Textpattern Links' Kind Regards, Keith Roberts ----------------------------------------------------------------- Websites: http://www.karsites.net http://www.php-debuggers.net http://www.raised-from-the-dead.org.uk All email addresses are challenge-response protected with TMDA [http://tmda.net] ----------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
