Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I'm a little confused, pieces of the picture are missing possibly? Why not just make 'cluster's ip == bswift.com if it is a virtual domain? Make www and cluster CNAME entries to the ip of what you are now calling cluster. If it isn't a virtual domain, why not use your firewall/NAT setup to do redir for you for incoming :80 :443 etc. to 'cluster's ip ? This would be my first approach. Too much information missing to really figure this out more directly. On Wed, Jul 19, 2000 at 01:02:39PM -0500, Jonathan E.
