Re: Forward

Ok sorry for the unclear explanation. But what I looking for is a URL
forward that the client browse is aware off. So when a client calls for URL
http://admin.domain.com the proxy forwards the URL to a new
http://admin.domain2.com and the client is aware off the URL change and
continues accessing the new url http://admin.domian2.com.

>Never used NS proxy. Can you please describe the forward URL function it

From the NS proxy manual.
"You can configure the proxy server to return a
redirected URL to the client instead of getting and
returning the document. With redirection, the client
is aware that the URL originally requested has
been redirected to a different URL. The client
usually requests the redirected URL immediately.
Netscape Navigator automatically requests the
redirected URL--the user doesn't have to
explicitly request the document a second time."

Hmm yes I am beginning to understand way this is not working.

I can do that with NS Proxy URL forward. Because the client is aware of the
forward and continues with the new URL.

I am not looking for a forward to another proxy.
