Re: [SLUG] multiple domain to one web site
If it is the same content, might as well do an alias. http://forums.devshed.com/search-engine-optimization-108/alias-for-better-seo-placement--question-355698.html There is no gain really for using multiple domains for the same content.

Re: [SLUG] multiple domain to one web site
>From a search engine perspective you're better off only having one domain work properly and having redirects set up to the chosen "master" domain - this way when people link to your site you don't loose page-ranking as they are more likely to link to the same URLs (thus increasing your page ranking) - for the same reason you should only have one subdomain, ie, have redirects to move http://name.com.au/content redirect to http://www.name.com.au/content or vice versa On Tue, Apr 22, 2008 at 4:06 PM, Voytek Eymont <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > when setting a single web site with multiple domain names, like, name.com, > name.com.au, name.net.au, is there any recommended way to run that, from > search engine perspective ? > > I normally set 'alias' directive for each additional domain in Apache > vhost conf, just curious if that the way, or is there a more appropriate > setup ? > > > -- > Voytek > > -- > SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ > Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html > -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
[SLUG] multiple domain to one web site
when setting a single web site with multiple domain names, like, name.com, name.com.au, name.net.au, is there any recommended way to run that, from search engine perspective ? I normally set 'alias' directive for each additional domain in Apache vhost conf, just curious if that the way, or is there a more appropriate setup ? -- Voytek -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
[SLUG] installing moodle - .deb or from cvs?
I'm about to setup moodle [1] on a vps. I'd be interested to know from people who have worked with moodle if they recommend installing it from a .deb or via cvs [2] (to more easily keep up with security patches). This question comes from my experiences (bruises?) of maintaining a drupal site, where I eventually found it easier to keep up with security patches by using cvs (I even wrote a howto on this [3]).

Some ideas I've had:
#1
Okay, so a bit unusual, but if you have a script in if-up.d that runs
nsupdate to update a local copy of bind, you'll always have a DNS name
that points to your nearest mail exchange
#2
Playing with DNS and search paths such that
smtp-forwarder.$any_domain_i_frequent exists, and using
"smtp-forwarder" as SMTP relayhost.
#3
Using deeper perl-foo in exim4, and doing like Peter suggests, but
consulting a file, that lists network masks and appropriate relay
hosts
lookup{ net-lsearch;$some_foo }{ CONFDIR/relay_by_domain }

Indeed, but in this case they've blocked everything except HTTP(S) and THAT is also increasingly common: block all ports and wait for users to scream. Screaming sometimes gets outgoing SSH back, but hasn't in this case. So, really, that's the scenario I was talking about being fairly common now: pretty much everything blocked. I know of at least two universities now who do this for their wireless networks. -Mary -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

Re: [SLUG] Re: Sending mail from within a highly locked down network
Quoting Mary Gardiner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Everyone's solutions have been pretty interesting[1]. I'm surprised (although, yes, I knew) that there aren't less sysadmin-y solutions: blocking outgoing SMTP is getting pretty common. I feel bad users who just want to send their mail already and not carry around a SMTP setup cheatsheet for Outlook/Evo/something. If you want to do something simple you could run a https Webmail server such as The Horde and then do all your email away from home through your web browser.
