Redirecting with mask from one host to the other

  • 772

I have a domain abc123.com and a second domain def456.com. I've setup def456.com/forum. However I want users to goto and only see forum.abc123.com.

The forum is SMF. Could anyone point me in the right direction? Maybe I have to use Apache ReWrite rules? I'm not sure.

To be clear, I never want the user to know they are actually browsing on the def456.com domain.

thank you!

    Have forum.abc123.com proxy def456.com/forum. Sort of like (if your using apache):

    <virtualhost *:80>
   servername forum.abc123.com
   proxypass / http://def456.com/forum/
   proxypassreverse / http://def456.com/forum/  
</virtualhost>

    Although setting up the forums under forum.abc123.com in the first place would be easier.

  2. you could point forum.abc123.com to the def456.com and there setup a virtualhost to handle forum.abc123.com

    You aren't trying to do illegal stuff, are you ?
