I would handle this in the upline webserver like Apache or Nginx with url rewriting The primary domain can catch all calls to the directory and 301 them to the subdomain without passing the call through to Rails Rewrite the subdomain/whatever and pass it to RAILS/directory/whatever This way Rails only has to deal with the call to the directory and can safely ignore the primary domain handling (and avoid changing routes) Andrew Timberlake http://ramblingsonrails.com http://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewtimberlake "I have never let my schooling interfere with my education" - Mark Twain --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
