Has anyone posted anything regarding how to specifically use a single DNN portal to host ANY domains or sub-domains NOT specified in the domain Alias table?
The functionality desired would be to allow WildCards in both IIS and DNN so that a single URL would answer the call for any of the following:
mydomain.com, yourdomain.com, mysub.thisdomain.com, yoursub.thatdomain.com, etc.
Now we know that there are ways to support subdomain wildcards in dns, IIS, and dnn to the extent that a default URL or custom "error" url can be applied, BUT ...
Has anyone laid out a model to pass the requested domain as a Parameter to the "default" URL? or ... Is the only way to handle this with an HTTP Handler?
Example:
The User enters either bobo.mydomain.com or yourdomain.com into browser (server_name equiv)
DNS sends everything to IP of mydomain.com
IIS answers the call and sends to website with appropriate "header" or lack therof running DNN
Only alias found is mydomain.com
There is no entry in the Portal Alias table except mydomain.com
Desired url would be either of these:
http://mydomain.com?domain=bobo.mydomain.com
http://mydomain.com?domain=yourdomain.com
Thoughts? OR is this a simple module to pick up the referrer or server_name from the http header?
I just wnat to know "What URL did the user request to begin with, and be able to process that within the site for numerous reasons"
