IIS6 HTTP redirect

Hi All,

We have lots of websites that host the same content and i'd like to redirect all of them to one URL.

I think this is done an HTTP redirect, but i've no idea how to set one up in IIS.

Any pointers would be cool

So... you have

http://www.home1.com
http://www.home2.com
etc...

And you want them all to point to say http://www.home.com? Can you provide some additional background?

yeah, thats it.

i want 5 URLs'

http://www.home1.com
http://www.home2.com
http://www.home3.com
http://www.home4.com
http://www.home5.com

to all point to
http://www.home.com

so if a user types in http://www.home2.com the URL changes to http://www.home.com and displays the content of http://www.home.com

Thanks

You could use meta refresh in your html file to point all the other urls to www.home.com/index.html

Your best bet though, is to have the DNS A record changed to the IP you are redirecting to. Then if you use host headers, add those 5 domains in.
This will avoid the redirect overhead (even if it's small).

DireOrbAnt , they are all on the same server so will have the same IP.

Will give humeniuk option a go.

DireOrbAnt's solution will work if you simply wish to have the website work under each of the five different domains. However, as noted, this can cause problems if you are hoping to have your website listed in the major search engines.
