Hi Marc,

I'm actually not sure how v3.com is doing re-directs except for the fact
that it's all Windows NT based.

When we finally sold easy.to to them (including your nice i.am subdomain ;p)
we were still using the ErrorDoc under Apache/Linux.

Regards,

Rick

Are they still using the ErrorDoc method tho? I said the thing about the
request codes because way back when I was coding the original easyDNS
stealthing that's what I tried too, and that was the problem I ran into.

Also, I have i.am/stuntpope and mine just does a redirect, it does not
stealth. But I set mine up years ago.

At any rate, by far the most common method (and the one we ended up going
with) is to output a frameset around the target URL.
