...but it only kicks in when searching. Another possibility is to use two separate config files for indexing and searching, with url_part_aliases: http://10.32.0.1/ *site*/ in the config file used for indexing, and url_part_aliases: http://www.ourcompany.com/ *site*/ in the config file used for searching ("*site*" is just a placeholder that can be replaced by any other string that doesn't appear in any of the indexed URLs). That way, the database contains "*site*" which can easily be replaced by any URL prefix you want. Combine that with the "include" directive to have the rest of the configuration read from a common file, and you're well set. cu, Martin P.S.: I absolutely *love* the configurability of ht://Dig! -- | Martin Vorlaender | OpenVMS rules!
