    Hello,

    My client has an existing site - mycompany.com and has just bought a new domain called backflowtestkit.repair that he wants to map to a page on mycompany.com.

    I looked into siteurls.config and wrote a rule like this


    .*backflowtestkit\.repair.*
    ~/Default.aspx?tabid=58


    but it doesn't work.When I type in www.backflowtestkit.repair, I just get to the mycompany.com home page (via the site alias that I set up initially).

    From searches, it sounds like the rewriter that uses siteurls expects an actual page - like www.backflowtestkit.repair/mypage but I really don't want to have to use anything other than the domain.

    Most of the search hits I find recommend iFinity URL Master but it sounds like that has been incorporated into DNN 7.1 (which I'm using).

    Basically, I'm confused about what I should be able to do with DNN rewrite rules. I don't really have access to IIS settings (hosted at PowerDNN).

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks,

    Tom

    I know this is late, but ... let's start with your DNN version. This is important as URL related issues have changed in recent releases.
