Domain Name Question

[Paul Welty]

Sean,

I'm not entirely certain this will be helpful, but I think all you need to
do is mess with the config.mainresponder.domains table. I've fooled with
that table extensively, and I've figure out how to get just about any
"incoming" URL to lead to any guest db or table within a guest db.

So, here is what I would try.

Make a new entry in the domains table with a name of "sitename.servername"
(or whatever) and then set the value of that entry (string is fine) to the
location of the file for the appropriate guest db. You can include a
sub-table at the end of the filename, but you might need to create an
address instead of a string to do this.

If this site is in Manila, it will be a little trickier, but there should be
an entry in domains already for the Manila sites. You might be able to hack
it to get what you want, but I haven't had to try this angle (yet) myself.

Also, you'll need to be sure the port forwarding is working right.

I hope this helps,

Paul
