Drilling Down Into A Redirected/masked/cloaked Site

Recommended Posts

Part 1) I would like to setup a domain name (which I have control of) such that a user can browse to that name, but be "forwarded transparently" to a server and path which is "hidden" from the browser's address bar.

 

Part 2) I would like site-internal links/paths which are clicked-on and visited to also be reflected in the browser's address bar.

 

An example: I control example.com but the my web site physically sits at myisp.com, with the root at myisp.com:8181/john/example. I want to be able to click on a link "test", which points to the directory named test, a subdirectory of /john/example. I would like the address bar to show example.com/test.

 

I've tried setting up my accounts at both godaddy and at enom to accomplish this. With godaddy, I set a value in Forward To and I enable/check Mask Domain enabled. At enom, I setup URL Framing. In both cases, browsing to example.com takes me to (displays) the correct root page at my web-site. Furthermore, drilling down into the site by clicking on the test link takes me to the correct page. But the corresponding path does not get updated in the browser's address bar, which continues to display example.com.

 

Of course, if I choose to disable Mask Domain (godaddy), or, choose URL Redirect (enom), I get the subdirectories reflected correctly in the address bar, but I see the ugly host/path prefix which I'm trying to hide.

 

Is it possible to accomplish what I want to do here?
