As an alternative solution:
cluster on 2 hostnames
- cgi.domain.com
- www.domain.com
And then, either
1. -
* use absolute URLS / links in your HTML or whatever
* this may not be very nice, depending on your HTML or whatever
2. -
* get Apache to rewrite the URL www.domain.com/cgi-bin to cgi.domain.com/cgi-bin
* this will cause a double lookup of the www.domain.com/cgi-bin URL
- once as www.domain.com/cgi-bin
- second as cgi.domain.com/cgi-bin when it is finally served
Cheers,
Ben.
