The first thing to do is to set up the DNS files for all of these names as if they were all going to be used normally. Then, on your web server, configure your virtual hosts manager to map the names that are to be redirected to a folder containing a redirect file - there are a great number of ways to do this, starting with WebSTAR raw files. On your mail server, configure it to combine all of the domains, so that an account named "anyuser" in one domain is the same as an account with the same name in the other two domains. How this is done differs depending on your mail server software, but it is often done with some sort of "router" setting. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton cbuxton@menandmice.com Men & Mice http://www.menandmice.com Makers of: QuickDNS Pro
