Hi Guys, Thanks for the input. I knew that subdomain/alias domains can do this job, but asking the users change the email addresses to subdomain might be a critical mass.
I think copy the certain folders to Site B server would be much more effective, but I worry that the emails might be too large, and might hang the VPN tunneling... anyone have done this before??

That's exactly what I wanted. I'm not sure if Merak will do hostname (easy to test) but it certainly will do alias domains. Thanks LOADS!!! Gabriel, does this help you? I think I have enough info to be able to get you on the right direction.
