Use frames. The server that does the redirecting will have a frames page instead with one frame. The frame source will be the URL you're redirecting to.

What kind of web server are you using?

If you are using Windows XP, the only solution is above.

If you are using a Windows Server, create a new website called subdomain.mydomain.com and point it directly to the filesystem location for http://mydomain.com/subdomain, don't redirect. Also add a host header called "subdomain.mydomain.com" so that the server will direct the request to the correct location using port 80.

If you are using Apache, read up on Virtual Hosts.

Alan

Hi ixue,

Then you want to setup a virtual host. See this link:

oooooh, yeah, I was assuming the two sites were on separate servers. If they're on the same server then setting up a virtual host document root to the subdirectory would work fine.
