Website redirect

[Pav1977]

I need to check if the redirect I have set up is done in correct and best way.

Website with the address

http://www.someshop.co.uk

needs to point to

http://www.somesite.co.uk/someshop.htm

I host

http://www.somesite.co.uk

but

http://www.someshop.co.uk

has been hosted by someone else and they will now point to the relevant section of our site.

I created a separate blank page on a separate IP with the <META HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" CONTENT="0; URL=

http://www.somesite.co.uk/someshop.htm">

and gave the external IP to the company that hosts

http://www.someshop.co.uk

Is there a simpler neater way of doing a redirect like this - can you point me to some source about this on the web - I can't find anything sensible. What I don't like about my solution is that it uses separate IP's (waste of IP addresses and I don't have too many of those left). Could it be done using "Multiple identities for the website" on IIS?

Let me know what you think.

Cheers.

Well what I need is to redirect the users that come only from

http://www.someshop.co.uk

and the rest of the users are not redirected - I can't find the option to specify that in the "Multiple identities" and it's not mentioned in the article you posted the link to.

Thanks for trying - anyone any ideas?

A couple of ways are possible depending on;

what access you have to the server

or

if your pages are all asp or application mappings are set to use asp code.

I have full access to the IIS and yes they are all asp code.
