HTTP Redirector Description

This Simple DNS Plus plug-in redirects HTTP requests for specified host names (and optionally all sub-names). Redirection can be done either "cloaked" in a frame page (redirect URL not visible in browser) or through a standard 302/301 status response. The redirect-to URL can be either relative (requested path/query appended) or an exact URL with optional substitutions for host name, path and/or query string. This can be used for example to redirect to a web-server running on a dynamic IP address (redirecting to a host name updated by a dynamic DNS service) and/or to redirect to a web-server on a non-standard port number (like "http://www.example.com:8000"). These types of redirection services are often offered by domain name registrars and resellers. Another way that this is often used is for "expired accounts". For example when an ISP's customer has canceled his web-hosting services, but his domain name is still pointing to the ISP's web-server. In this this scenario, the ISP might redirect such domain names to a central web-site informing visitors why the web-site is unavailable, perhaps a bit of promotion for the ISP etc. IMPORTANT: This plug-in requires the use of port 80 TCP on a static public IP address. It can however share port 80 with IIS (v. 6 and later) running on the same computer, as long as all IIS web-sites are configured with specific host names, or use a different IP address or port number.
