Your subdomain is not connected to your main domain (e.g. a subdirectory of it)? If that's not the case, you'll need a reverse proxy:<br />

<pre><code id="code-358707">RewriteEngine On
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?domain2\.com$ [NC]
# requires mod_proxy et al.
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://sub.domain1.com/$1 [P]

caterham_www: Thanks for your help. &nbsp;I'm kind of lost with this htaccess stuff. &nbsp;I tried your rewriterule, but it gives a 404 error. &nbsp;If it makes a difference, at my host the main domain directory is /www/www and the subdomain is /www/sub

I have a main domain: domain1.com and a subdomain: sub.domain1.com.  I have another domain: domain2.com.  I would like requests for www.domain2.com to go to sub.domain1.com, but have the browser address bar show www.domain2.com.  The .htaccess file below is close to what I want, except the address bar shows sub.domain1.com instead of www.domain2.com.  How can I fix this?

Redirect domain to subdomain. Show domain in address bar.
