Hi,

we have a CNAME pointing blog.domain.com to another server where the blog is hosted.

We would like the user (and Search Spiders) so see www.domain.com/blog rather than blog.domain.com

How could this be achieved?

thankS!

I'll try to explain a bit further.

We have a client that, for SEO reasons, want their blog at www.domain.com/blog rather than blog.domain.com

But we don't want to install their Wordpress blog in the same server space under public_html because of security issues (the website hosts lots of private data and we don't want to place a Trojan horse there ourselves). So we wish the Wordpress blog to run as a different user on the server so that it cannot access files outsite its own space.

For that reason we would have placed the blog under another user/account on the server and would have pointed the /blog to it.

I know this is a weird setup. If you can think of a better way, it would be VERY appreciated.

any clues?
