If I'm not mistaken, you'd only need to redirect requests for the root index page of each domain down to the necessary directory for the domain:
http://abc.com/ --> abc/ http://def.com/ --> def/ Then you'd use nothing but relative references within your pages. You're biggest challenge may be to remember that absolute references such as action="/forms/handler.cfm" won't work at all. Just stay away from referencing the root and you'll be OK. Any references to pages beneath the root directory shouldn't require redirection - user bookmarks, outside links, search engine links, etc. The search engines won't like the redirects, but if they have a starting point within the site itself then the whole site should be spidered. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Les Mizzell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <cf-talk@houseoffusion.com> Sent: Saturday, January 29, 2005 12:28 PM Subject: Re: redirect opinions > Jim McAtee wrote: >> Why would anyone do this?
