FAQ 30: How can I redirect to an existing website?
Category: Initial setup | Updated: 6/5/2010 3:27:09 PM | Read: 5254 (Last: 9/5/2010 1:08:26 PM) You want clients to be directed to a website that already exists, rather than an IP address.
Cause
DNS cannot resolve requests to a URL, only to an IP address. The value for RedirectIP= in dnsredir.ini must be an IP address.
Some websites are not accessible by IP address directly, the server is using host headers to serve multiple websites on a single IP address (most shared hosting companies do this).
Resolution
Follow the instructions as described under Readme: Hosted Pages, extracting one of the examples below to the site's root folder.
welcome -outside redirect with top message.zip In welcome.asp change the 14th line to the URL of your choice. This method is suggested for hotels and other organizations that require the guest/client be redirected to their corporate website before surfing the Internet.
