Hello,  
I have two domains pointing to my webserver: [www.domain1.com](http://www.domain1.com) and  
[www.domain2.com](http://www.domain2.com)  
I need to redirect call that come from domain2 to [www.domain2.com/fd/](http://www.domain2.com/fd/)

What is the best or even possible way to do this ?

A rewrite ? If so, can someone point me how to do this, as I understand  
nothing of rewrites…

Thanks for any help…

Marcello

Thanks Jon…

But I want to do this just from requests coming from [www.domain2.com](http://www.domain2.com)…  
[www.domain1.com](http://www.domain1.com) should do to another controller…

Gessing then these are the same project?

Really I suppose what web server you are using?

Ah, sorry never used that one!

I am affraid I will have to hand over to someone else.

But yes I would say a redirect/alias is best then.

Thanks Jon for your attention…

But I think that ListSpeed’s Rewrite is almost compatible with  
Apache’s one…

I also tried something, but could not make it work…

Thanks…
