Hello,

It it possible to setup a DNS record to do this on a RaQ4r:

http://forum.mydomain.com -> http://www.mydomain.com/forum

That way, a user hasn't to buy a second account...


Thnx!

first get your fundas clear man. You are probably talking about apache here .
Nothing like this can be done through DNS

I really think it is done by DNS settings,
I know some people who already have such a link, and that link is pingable so...

if it's not clear:

I have a customer who has a forum located on:
http://www.domain.com/FORUM

He wants his forum to be accessible by this url:
http://FORUM.domain.com

If you point your browser to http://FORUM.domain.com you will see the contents of http://www.domain.com/forum... without seeing the new location.

Actually, while it does involve DNS, it does so only to the extent of enabling domain wildcards. After that point use a php script to handle the redirect. Check out a few at http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Scripts_and_Programs/Redirection/URL_Based/.
