!Redirecting to another domain!

Somewhat urgent, and not working...

[mipapage]

Hey all,

A company has two domains:

1. www.ourcointer.com
   
2. www.ourcointernational.com

They used to redirect #2 to #1. We've just about finished a new site for them, that in the end will reverse things a bit, where #1 will redirect to #2.

We've changed the DNS of #2 to point at some new servers, and until the new site is completely finished, are redirecting the root of #2 to #1 using the following in an htaccess file:

RewriteRule ^$ [ourcointer.com...] [L]

This solution works fine for us, and we've had some people test it, however in the clients office they are simply getting a blank white screen instead of a redirect.

What I am wondering is, could this redirect, without stating 301 or anything, be stopped by some firewall software or something?

Any ideas appreciated!

Check the redirecting site's server headers [webmasterworld.com] for the proper redirect response, and have the client do a view-page-source to see what they are getting.

I doubt that it's a firewall problem; It would make no sense to block 301 redirects.

Have your client flush their browser cache (Temporary Internet Files), too.

Thanks jdMorgan,

Nice call on the server headers, I'll have them check it out. They also said that it may be something to do with a cache somewhere on their ISP...
