[thelist] 2 Domain Names, 1 Host?

Leo:

In addition to what Jeremy mentioned, here are 2 more suggestions...

1) Your ISP could also set this up for you. This is usually called a
FakeIP.

2) But, assuming the hosting provider allows you CGI script access in
your document root directory, you could write a quick index.cgi to do
the redirection. This is what the file would look like:

---
#!/usr/bin/perl

my ($URL1) = 'http://www.wiedersheim.com/clicktech/index.html';
my ($URL2) = 'http://www.wiedersheim.com/index.html';

if ($ENV{'HTTP_HOST'} =~ /clicktech.com/gi)
    {
        print "Location: $URL1\n\n";
    }
    else
    {
        print "Location: $URL2\n\n";
    }
exit;
---

You would also need to make sure of the path to PERL (the first line
above beginning with #!) on your host and that you are able to use
index.cgi as a default document like index.htm, index.html,
default.htm, etc...
