Domain forwarding help

[dibbz]

Guys, I need some help with something. I'm trying to host multiple websites (with different domains) on a single web host and I'm having some trouble with it. Right now I have each website in its own folder and I am simply forwarding the different domains to each folder. The problem with doing this is that the user will be pointed to www.DOMAIN.com/FOLDER/ and I don't want the user to see the domain. I tried forwarding the domain with masking, but then the user can only see www.NEWDOMAIN.com (even when they browse to other pages). This is a problem, because the user is sent back to the start page whenever they refresh the page, because there is no way to go to www.NEWDOMAIN.com/FOLDER/. I'm pretty sure that there is a way to modifty your HTACCESS file to do what I am trying to do, but I don't know how to do it. Can someone help me with this?

Here is an example: I am forwarding http://www.clan-ei.com to http://www.dibbz.net/clanei. Is there any way that I can go to http://www.clan-ei.com/forum? I have to browse to the forum through the site or direct my browser to http://www.dibbz.net/clanei/forum.

when you masked the site, your content (http://www.dibbz.net/clanei) is loaded into an invisible frame when the user types in http://www.clan-ei.com

you will not be able to type in "http://www.clan-ei.com/forum" because that folder does not actually exist. you will either have to navigate through the site itself, (the invisible frame,) or divulge the REAL url to your audience ( http://www.dibbz.net/clanei/forum)

What web-serving software are you using? If it's apache, it sounds like a job for mod_rewrite.
