Thanks Steve, I needed another opinion to convice me... :) -----Original Message----- From: DURETTE, STEVEN J (ATTASIAIT) [mailto:sd1...@att.com] Sent: Thursday, June 03, 2010 11:40 AM To: cf-talk Subject: RE: CF & Domain Redirects
Che, Technically it isn't totally another site. When you create it you set it as a redirect. No folders will be created etc. However, this is the most efficient because IIS handles it before it tries to open any files, etc. If you have URLScan running (which it should be) it doesn't even get called until after the redirect. Using any other method would cause IIS to process the URLScan, plus any other internal processing, then your cf page, redirect, process URLScan for where you redirected, any other internal processing, then the new cf page. With the re-direct in IIS it would go: Redirect, URLScan, internal processing, final cf page. This was simplified of course. The redirect is in the domain of the web server not the application server. Let the appropriate software handle the appropriate jobs.

Ian, here is what prompted my post. When a user types domains.com, all of the links on the site say domains.com as they click through the site. I want them to say www.domain.com w/o having to go back and re-code all of the sites hyperlinks. My DNS is configured correctly. IIRC, isn't there someway to set a "base url" in CF so that all site links use it as a default? Steve, yes I own the domain names. In IIS, you can create a duplicate site (in this case www.domains.com) and have it redirect via a url to www.domain.com. I just figured there must be a simpler way than to create another "site" in IIS to do this.

You can re-direct an entire url right in the interface. I've done it before but it has been a while.
