Hi,

I've seen a lot of companies selling domain names and name services which redirects it to a URL of free webspace.

e.g.:

www.mydomain.com -> http://members.lycos.com/abcdef0123
Also mail forwarded from
anything@mydomain.com -> polleke@hotmail.com

I've seen hosts selling this service with even a control panel...

Anyone knows it's possible to do this on a RaQ550?

I'd like to know that too, because i have a few costumer asking for that service.

If i can't get a controlpanel, is it then possible to set it up with dns?

Yes, but you'll need to create a php script that looks the domain up in a database and based on that redirects the visitor.

You'll have to add the domain to /etc/mail/local-host-names
Then add a forward to /etc/mail/virtusertable and restart sendmail.

IMHO the simplest solution would be to get a reseller account with a registrar that offers this type of solution.
