Hi guys,
I have one virtual directory with multiple Host Headers, I need to redirect
all these URL's to one domain Name, I mean If a user entered any of the url's
I need him to be redirected to one of the URL's.
Thanks in advance,
MSN

If you mean you have a site with multiple host headers (you can't put host
headers on a virtual directory, only a site), then the way I handle this is
to create another site and put all the host headers on there that I wanted
redirected from, and only the one I want to redirect to on the site itself.
Then go to the "Home directory" tab in the site properties for the new site
that will redirect, and pick "A redirection to a URL" at the top. In the
Redirect to box type:
http://www.domain.com$S$Q
where www.domain.com is the host header you always want to redirect to. The
$S and $Q parts ensure that additional path and querystring data is also
passed, eg.
www.otherdomain.com/mypage.asp?id=1
will redirect to
www.domain.com/mypages.asp?id=1
if you don't want the request details to be redirected, just leave off the
$S$Q
Then tick the "The exact URL entered above" in the options just below this
box, and that's it. Requests to URLs for host headers assigned to this site
will now redirect to the other site.
I currently have 5 public sites, each with a redirect site (so a total of 10
sites on the server) with alternate spellings of the domain.
