If you're on an apache server, and you have access to your httpd.conf, it's
relatively easy:

	<VirtualHost olddomain.com www.olddomain.com>
		ServerName olddomain.com
		RedirectMatch ^/(.*) http://www.newdomain.com/olddomainsave/$1
	</VirtualHost>

Subject: Domain Name Pointing Game


Good Morning,

Here is the question.


  I like OldDomain.com. Its a cool name and I dont want to let it, nor the
content that i have created on it go. But I also have NewDomain.net that
more people know about. I dont want to pay for full hosting of 2 different
domains. So I am doing a complete backup of OldDomain.com and removing it
from the current hosting company.

  My New hosting company is allowing me to point OldDomain.com to its
Domain Name Servers for a fee of $10 per month. I have already submitted
DNS changes to Network Solutions to point to the new Name Servers.

What do I need to do now to achieve the following result...


Someone types in http://www.OldDomain.net/something
They get redirected to http://www.NewDomain.com/OldDomainSave/something/

With the address in the URL changing in the address bar to
http://www.NewDomain.com/OldDomainSave/something/

Meta Refresh?
VHost?
.htaccess?

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
