HI,

I want this domain:
www.abc.com

to forward to this domain:
myabc.homeip.net

The complication is, I want abc.com to remain in the address bar AND i want any query string to remain on the address bar. Example: we have a search form that submits firstname and lastname via GET, so the query string looks like this:
www.abc.com/search.jsp?fname=john&lname=doe

I want that to remain in the URL, but in actuality it's going to:
www.abc.com/search.jsp?fname=john&lname=doe

Is that possible?

Thanks

This is called cloaking or forwarding. Most registrars support it

It's basically a webhost (NOT registrar's) function. It's better to leave it as this...

If you are using a registrars DNS why not use them?

The main word here is *IF*. Frankly, I can't imagine why people in their right mind would use registrar's DNS.

Why not, Stan?

Why not Stan?

Because (for me, at least) it is so much easier to have my own... ;)
