I have a domain.com and I want to run a free subdomain redirection service
This domain.com has a unique ip and is hosted in a shared raq4 account which is known that rewrites the subdomain to www

So I thought to sign at mydomain.com to have the ability of wildcard subdomains using the ip redirection option of mydomain.com
However I want to offer the option my users to cloak their real url
How this can be achieved having in mind the previous problems ?

If I modify from the registrar record the ns fields to point at mydomain.com the name servers of domain.com will still have the old info. This will create a conflict of the servers resolving the domain or not ?

Do you presently have wildcards for the domain? If not, maybe you should request this first.

The cloaking the domain thing will be handled by the script you choose (unless you are setting all of this up manually for every redirect which would be a pain in the donkey).

If you modify the nameservers at your registrar to point to my domain, then the nameservers for domain.com will be *those* nameservers, they will not have the old info. Yes, your host will have DNS set up for the domain, but that doesn't matter.

Chicken :

I did but they don't want alter the default mode which rewrite to www

I know that this will be handled by the script but with the IP redirection the domainA.com will resolve to 1.1.1.1, right ?
The 1.1.1.1 will be the visible part of the url or not ?

The dialup users this provider has or the name servers that take updates from the provider's ns will not show the old nameservers ?

Unless you are doing something different at mydomain than the norm, or I'm misunderstanding you, it wouldn't be IP redirection. You wouldn't set up domain forwarding and then put an IP there (normally at least and I'm not certain it would allow you to do that).

Simply set up a DNS zone record, pointing the domain to an IP. I'm really starting to get lost as to what you mean...

Again, dialup users? Why don't you email support asking them to remove your domain from DNS. Then you can set it up at mydomain and not have to worry about it.

I'm not certain this will/won't work. There are a few people who run these redirection services at http://www.freewebspace.net/forums and maybe try posting there and someone will have experience and be able to give you some tips.
