There are actually a number of ways to do this, but it depends what behaviour you want from the client and how much access you have to the server. An HTTP or Meta redirect will change the URL shown in the address bar, so the user will know they have been moved to anotherdomain.com. If you use an invisible frame, users will see the original URL at all times (even if they navigate to a different location, which may be undesirable). Using a more complex method (mod_proxy), you can make the remote site transparently appear to be on the local site. All those methods except for mod_proxy are explained in more detail here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URL_redirection#Techniques the relevant section of mod_proxy's documentation: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_proxy.html#proxypassreverse Sam -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
