Changing Host URL without Redirect - IRULE

OK. I believe that I understand. If the User Enters: gear.swimming.com you want the browser to display: recreation.com/swimming while showing the content for gear.swimming.com.

 

 

The only way to change the Browser URL is through a redirect (you can mask the URL or URI to the server at will, but the Browser does a DNS Lookup to resolve the DNS Name to the IP Address). As soon as you redirect to change the browser URL you would no longer be in control in your situation and the External Hosting company takes over. The External Hosting company would then have to manipulate the sub-directory (/swimming) to look back at your system to get the content for gear.swimming.com.

 

 

Basically, they would have to do what you are trying to do from their end.
