I am trying to consolodate two protals into one.  Is there a way that I can direct any request for a particular portal alias to a specific page?  This will allow me to just have one paortal and then direct to a page that uses a different skin.

Thanks

Have you looked at URL rewriting on the web server to do this?

Vince, you will find it difficult to acheive - the problem is the concept of a home page in DNN is tied to the portal rather than the portal alias.

If you get an asp.net 404 error for a request to test.domain.com, you could write a aspx page which redirected the request to a particular page (ie www.domain.com/test) : this would help in that it sent the user to the correct page, kept them on the site which contains all the other links, and you can still apply a specific skin to a specific page in the site.

Depending on what you want with the site, one of the problems you're going to have is that the standard DNN authentication (and thus session) is based on the domain name, so going from test.domain.com to www.domain.com will mean the user would have to sign in again.  I don't know whether this is an issue or not for you though.
