301 redirect

[ziycon]

I have the below redirect, i'm wondering is it possible for the domain name to show up and not the redirected ip when the redirect happens?

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^irishgamingnetwork.ie$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.irishgamingnetwork.ie$
RewriteRule ^/?$ http://0.0.0.0 [R=301,L]

And what domain is that?

 

[ziycon]

I want the irishgamingnetwork.ie or www,irishgamingnetwork,ie name to show up instead of the ip depending on which one the user types into the browser.
I haven't received the ip address hence the 0's, i'll have it later on, forgot to say that!

I think you are doing this arse backwards, the rewrites will move to the IP, instead of the IP going to the domains.

Is there anyway to make the domain move to the ip with the domain still showing in the browser!?

Use dns and stop playing with redirects

What you are trying to do is VERY simple via DNS

Trying to do it using redirects at HTTP level is just plain wrong

I know how easy it is to change the DNS settings, just wanted to try something different.
