I have a client who is an ad agency

I built a "Leadtracker" site with Drupal to collect and analyze campaign data, primarily with webforms and Google Analytics (we're also testing Clicky and Woopra)

The main website has its own domain name (which should only be viewed by admin), and we're running a few multisites off the same code. There are several "satellite" sites on and off the Drupal site that drive traffic to the main site for various campaigns.

Many campaigns have their own "masked" domain name - useful for analytics and tracking

We are masking them with the GoDaddy URL mask feature, which places the masked url in a frame (I did not pick GoDaddy, but this is a convenient tool). You could alternatively set up your own framed/masked url.

It works...

Well, assuming you have mod_rewrite on (you can check phpinfo(); to see), you can place the following in a file called ".htaccess" in your root folder.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^ABC.COM$ XYZ.COM [NC,L]

You would change ABC.COM to the full URL you want to appear in the address bar and XYZ.COM to the URL you want to actually be accessed. NC simply means that the string is case-insensitive, and L means that if this rule is matched, stop; that's really most important if you have multiple rewrite rules.
