Pointer Domain Question

[digitaljesus]

Hey everyone,

A reseller of mine asked an excellent question yesterday. He is moving a bunch of sites over from a Plesk server and each site has a ton of pointer domains they use to measure effectiveness, they point them at a specific URL like:

woohoo.com ------> www.bigwoohoo.com/?=who

Current in siteworx you can make a pointer domain go to the main domain, but you can not specify where exactly in that domain it should go (not even a custom folder like: woohoo.com ---> www.bigwoohoo.com/folder/), only to the root. Does anyone know a way to get around this either in the DNS Zones or otherwise?

Thanks a ton,
Dan

You can make it go to a directory through the use of apache redirects in .htaccess files (Directory Management). DNS zone's wont do anything and any custom editing of the virtual host config file will break if you ever have to restore from backup.
