Hi

I have a notesserver with on the serverdocument the following:

Fully qualified Internet host name: www.mydomain.com

Then I have created a redirection document with the following settings:

Incoming URL pattern: /prodlog

Redirect to this URL: http://193.222.12.159

Everything works fine, except 1 thing. When I type in the address www.mydomain.com/prodlog the webpage of the other server is opening but the address in the address bar looks like this http://193.222.12.159/prodlog.

I would like the address in the bar to look like http://www.mydomain.com/prodlog.

What and where must I change to achive this?

The other machine is a linux machine and does not have a notes server.

Any help will be appreciated

Regards

The redirection rule tells the browser to request a new URL instead of the one used originally. If this URL uses an IP address instead of a name registered in DNS, that’s what the browser will use.

As the new URL points to a different machine, it cannot have the same host name as the first machine, so redirections don’t get you anywhere.

You would need some edge server as a single point of entry, which would then dispatch requests to the desired servers, based e.g. on URL pattern. To the best of my knowledge, a single Domino server cannot do that.

A substitution role must not contain a host name in the incoming pattern, so that won’t work. You can configure Domino as an Internet Cluster Manager, but I’m not very familiar with it. As far as I know, it works based on redirects, so this would not help as well.
