I'm currently trying to migrate the forum to a new setup which hopefully will give us better performance, reliability, more frequent backups, etc...
The problem is that the new forum will be on a separate machine, and ideally I'd like "forum.defence-force.org" to just stay the same, except it would point on the new setup.
Right now I have two servers:
- www.defence-force.org, which is hosted by Yahoo!
- miniserve.defence-force.org which is handled by DNS trickery to redirect to my own server in my apartment using dyndns (to miniserve.getmyip.com)
I installed for testing the new phbBB3 on miniserve, at the current location:
http://miniserve.defence-force.org/www_ ... /index.php
What I'd like to do is to have forum.defence-force.org map directly to this location, so the user don't see www_forum/phpBB3. I want the user just see that they are on forum.defence-force.org, nothing else. How can I do that?
Ideally the solution should be evolutive, because I'd like at some point to have "wiki.defence-force.org" to redirect to miniserve as well, in it's own subfolder, same thing for things like perhaps blogs or Q&A type of engine.
What's the cleanest way to do that, knowing that I have almost no control on the Yahoo! hosted server (except the basic DNS/records/redirects) and that miniserve is running a good old apache2 on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.
Thanks in advance
