Our new site will be:
5 languages: English, French, German, Spanish.
Currencies supported (using the Portal Store module) will be Euro, CDN Dollar and US dollar.
5 domains; .com, .eu, .ca, .es, .fr, .de, and co.uk.
Most of this has been sorted out and understand (thanks to everyone who makes the localization so pimped out in DNN!). A question though, how do I organize the domain name redirections; I would like to incorporate geoip targetting to bring US/Worldwide to the .com (English/US Dollar), Germans to the .de (German/Euro), etc. etc.
Can someone explain how to set this up, starting from the IIS setup and onwards? The domains are registered, do I just do a domain forward in IIS or what? And then how to do the geoip part?
Thanks!

Ok, to follow up, I've installed the DSLocalizator Module, however theres a couple issues:
a) When I try to 'Install Hack' (from my understanding, this is what activates the whole module sitewide), it gives me a 'Critical Error, Denied Access to Path'. I have all accounts set to full permission on this site currently, so there should be no write permission problems.
b) How do I set up the domains in IIS, do I put each country TLD as a domain alias for my root domain, and then the Localizator can sort it out? The end goal, is to have a german user on www.mysite.de, and NOT www.mysite.com/language=de - style querystring. The whole idea is to have the base URL matching the country they are in.
Thanks for any help.

The hack tries to modify the file: default.aspx (and default.aspx.vb when DNN4). So, your problem is your current permissions for those files.

Please explain TLD.
DSlocalizator can map a portal alias to a language, but not a language to a portal alias.

I applied Full Control to -all- accounts and tried this again; still, 'Critical Error Path Denied'.
I have full control of this server, so it's not some weird hosting issue.
Please explain TLD.

Ok, well the answer seems to be coming that the only way to do what I want is to finish creating the english, .com version of my site, export the portal to a new one, and then set that portal as, let's say, a default language of German. The question is, what is the setup in IIS to accomplish this? The name server answers a request for Mydomain.de, then what do I need to do to forward that domain request to DNN and have it forward to the appropriate portal? Thanks

Just point all your your domains to the same ip and use that ip for your DNN website. Then, create your DNN portals and add your selected domains for each portal as an alias. That is it.
