Luckily, his is one of those.

What I was looking for is similar in forcing the dotted quad to show even if the visitor entered the name URL.

The easiest way, if .htaccess is limited here, is to include a simple line at the top of the pages:

Code:

---

<?php if(strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'], 'cleverwasteoftime') !== false) header('Location: http://216.118.83.123' . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']); ?>

:D Yeah.. someone got smart way back when, LOL I would have started at 1, then each site would have a number corresponding to date and order URL was made. But I have a pinache for the over-exuberant (is that even a word?)

The mod_rewrite Apache module can do this and the examples in the Apache documentation should make it clear how do write the appropriate directives...

Thanks.. I did look on Apache's site in the Mod Rewrite section.. but I got lost and nothing looked like what I wanted.

must be IP based, as my non-profit sites can't afford dedicated yet :)
