Your hunch is correct — there should be one canonical location for your
website. All auxiliary domains should redirect to the main one.
I'm assuming Apache? If so, two main ways to do it: use two VirtualHosts +
Redirect, or use one VirtualHost + mod_rewrite.
Example #1:
NameVirtualHost *
ServerName name.com
ServerAlias www.name.com
DocumentRoot/var/www/name.com
ServerName name.com.au
ServerAlias www.name.com.au
RedirectPermanent / http://name.com/
Example #2:
ServerName name.com
ServerAlias www.name.com name.com.au www.name.com.au
DocumentRoot/var/www/name.com
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}!^name\.com$[NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}!=""
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://name.com/$1 [L,R=301]

Re: [SLUG] one entity with two tld domains web setup?
At the DNS level point the www 'A' record on both domains to the same ip address where the web server is hosted. or make the www record for name.com.au a 'cname' record and point it to the www record for name.com e.g. www.name.com -> 111.222.333.444 www.name.com.au -> www.name.com Does that help?

[SLUG] one entity with two tld domains web setup?
I need to set up a web host for one entity that has same domain name in .com as well as .com.au, .com is meant to be the real one, .com.au is to prevent cyber squaters, what is the best way to set up web host? www.name.com is the web host, so, do I set a www.name.com.au host with permanent redirect ? or how ? (I used in the past httpd directive to point both hosts at same http/path/to/index.html, though I'm not sure that is a good idea ?) -- Voytek -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
