 It would be helpful to have some more details (Bind version used,

Re: Web forwarding in BIND

2010-05-21 Thread Hoover Chan
Thanks for this and all the other input.

When you say regular Web browser, it's safe to conclude that Firefox, IE and 
Safari are all included in this category? If so, then yes, that is the target 
audience.

I have an odd (and frustrating) situation where I manage the DNS for a Web 
service that's housed outside of my institution who for some reason doesn't 
want to configure virtual hosting. A workaround was (actually in place at this 
moment) to point DNS to a Web server I manage and do the appropriate virtual 
hosting config and redirect. However, the group that manages the content for 
that Web server somehow doesn't want to it this way.

Oh well.

 Unlike what many people said, there is an existing solution to do so,
 it is called NAPTR, and is specified in RFC
 3403. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NAPTR_record
 
 Like what many people said, it is not usable in practice since the
 regular Web browser does not use it (and I assume it is your target).

Web forwarding in BIND

I'm new to this list but have been having trouble looking for information on 
this topic.

Re: Web forwarding in BIND

2010-05-20 Thread Hoover Chan
Heh, thanks for the humor. 

I'm used to having control over both Web server and DNS server and the way I 
normally handle these things is via an Apache virtual host configuration. 
However, I'm under pressure to lose control of DNS and hand it over to a 
company like Go Daddy or Network Solutions where you can pay to have a domain 
name point to a specific URL.

Maybe this question should change to learning how these companies do that sort 
of thing.

 You'll have better luck looking for information on how to spin straw
 into gold.
 
 What you want will need to be handled within the webserver itself.
