Title: virtual domain to another computer
Post by: brianN on January 02, 2003, 10:31:24 PM

I have created a Virtual domain through SME 5.5, however I would like the files to reside on another computer at another IP Address, how can I point this Virtual domain to the directory on the other computer? Is it possible?

The whole point of a virtual domain is to be able to host multiple domains on one server. I'm sure it's POSSIBLE have a virtual domain on an SME, and have that forwarded to another address. But if you have a second computer with another IP, why are you using a virtual domain at all? Seems like it'd be a lot easier to just set up the second one by itself...

the point of what I'm trying to do is "hide" the domain. Don't ask why, I have my reasons.
