Seems to work fine except for custom themes. We serve the images/css via Apache HTTP Server and because we don't have those pointing to the same directory, you have to specify the full URLs in the custom theme. It's not a very smart solution :) Just the 5 minute one. I presume we could be loading the images into the blog and linking somehow. > One problem that I see is that the aggregator page will not generate > virtual host URLs to the aggregated blogs. Yep. It all still works fine (as long as the custom theme bits are handled right), but it basically means you can hit the page under any of the virtual hosts being handled. Plus it doesn't hide the roller url at all. So it's still: http://blog.generationjava.com/roller/page/bayard/20051225#successful_software for a blog entry. > Of course there's only so much you can do without putting the virtual > host name into the database record for each blog, but I'm trying to get > a feel for what it would take to make virtual hosts/vanity URLs work in > a completely seamless manner... I guess switching from Redirect to Rewrite would allow you to hide what was going on, I presume there'd be issues, but worth a try. Hen
