Smart domains in Server 2003

[msme]

ok first let me explain what exactly I want

I have a dedicated web server , with one web web site hosting hosted on it , I can access web web site hosting with 2 address my main domain and my static IP
but I want if users wanted to access my web web site hosting via IP system automaticaly redirect them to my domain istead of opening web web site hosting by IP, I want this for domain with and without www also . for example I want if users access web site hosting with this address http://mysite.com system redirect them to http://www.mysite.com
you can see this in microsoft domain
look at this

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/windowsvista/sp1.mspx

now if we got to this address with microsoft ip system automatically redirect us to main domain and above address

http://207.46.232.182/windows/products/windowsvista/sp1.mspx

I want to know what is IIS Web Server configuration to do this , or may be its a DNS configuration

Thanks

Hello,

There is no IIS Web Server or sever end settings that would do this for you. You can have this by using redirecting rules. To enable this on your server you will need an application such as ISAPI_Rewrite and set a rule to redirect a request on IP to a particular domain.

Also the example that you have given of Microsoft's web site hosting must have also used a redirect rule as if you try to browse a non existing page it will still change the URL to a domain first and then redirect.

Hi,

If you're using the classic ASP scripting language you can add the following code to the header of each page, or use an include:

PHP Code:


<%

 Function TLsplit(StrToSplit,Delim)
Dim StrArray()
If StrToSplit = "" Then
  ReDim StrArray(1)
  StrArray(0) = 0
  StrArray(1) = ""
  TLsplit = StrArray
Else
  dcount = 0
  For TLsI = 1 To Len(StrToSplit)
   If Mid(StrToSplit,TLsI,1) = Delim Then dCount = dCount + 1
  Next
  If dCount = 0 Then
   ReDim StrArray(1)
   StrArray(0) = 1
   StrArray(1) = StrToSplit
   TLsplit = StrArray
  Else
   ReDim StrArray(dCount + 1)
   StrArray(0) = dCount + 1
   TempArray = Split(StrToSplit,Delim)
   For TLsI = 1 To dCount + 1
    StrArray(TLsI) = Trim(TempArray(TLsI - 1))
TLsplit = StrArray
   Next
  End If
End If
End Function

Dim MainDomain

MainDomain = "yourdomain.com" your domain without the www

SplitHeader = TLSplit(Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME"),",")

If Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME") = Request.ServerVariables("LOCAL_ADDR") Then

Response.Redirect("http://" & MainDomain)

ElseIf SplitHeader(1) = "www" Them

Response.Redirect("htp://" & MainDomain)

End If

%> 


Something like that should do. TLSplit function courtesy of powerasp.com.
