Hi,

I have a site currently hosted on another server located in another country. I just want to create a mirror site and host it on an US server. But I want to use the same domain. So customers will be accessing the same web URL mysite.com, but it direct to US server or foreign server depend on visitor's location. How can this be done? What kind of technology is behind this?

Please advice.
Thanks
Ging

really quite simple. If you chose a host that allows you to host multiple domains you can setup both domains on the account and then just use one as an alias. If you don't chose a host that allows this, then you can go to your domain registrar sometimes and forward the domain to another domain. If you can't do this, then maybe you can set an alias with the other host, if the other domain is being hosted. If it is not, then you can maybe transfer the domain to a domain registrar that supports forwarding. IIRC, godaddy supports this.

I may be mistaken but doesn't he want to use the same domain name not get 2 domain names directing to the same place?
