IRM questions

[zmax]

I want to register a IRM to my account next week and had a few questions.
I understand how the email works but what about cgi-bin?
Do I use the path to the cgi-bin as I do with the main domain and it finds it?
What about using images in directories above the redirectoed directory? Can it be done?

For example if I have
~/www/images   for images
~/www/irmdomain for the new domain
can an html file in the new domain link to
images in the image dir which technically is in
a different domain?

Does that make sense?

Thanks.

and for some reason it says visitor instead of site owner but I am a site owner.

The IRM is another sophisticated innovation created by FutureQuest...

Your IRM domain uses the cgi-bin of your primary domain...  This is all handled transparently by a sequence of filters, gates, and trapdoors that I've built into the Apache server...

Consider your IRM domain to be chrooted to that particular directory with the exception of the cgi-bin trapdoors...

www.binford.com (Primary)
www.acme.com (IRM)

To access images from your primary domain, then you would have to do a full URL link:
img src="http://www.binford.com/images/smilie.gif"

You cannot do a relative file link as the security filter would trap that and return a forced 404:
img src="../images/smilie.gif"

In turn, I hope this makes sense...

I am thinking of setup an IRM and move some of my pages to it. However, change all the image src will be very tedious work. Besides, I will not be able to see the images unless I am online.

Is it a way to make the main domain and IRM share the same directory without change the image src to full URL link?
Could I use ln to make the image directory link to my IRM directory?

However, change all the image src will be very tedious work.

Creative use of global find and replace -- you ought to be able to do it in a matter of minutes.
