Handling domain level alias for (sub)pages

Developers Gathering & indexing
1

I have a few University departments that have changed name but retained their old domain for some website functions.

At the top level they have a HTTP redirect a.dom.ac.uk → b.dom.ac.uk, all good.

Funnelback finds that and creates a ‘domain level alias’ for that.
However then any reference to a.dom.ac.uk in a link gets rewritten by Funnelback, so
a.dom.ac.uk/~me is redirected to b.dom.ac.uk/~me but user ‘me’ has kept all his useful information on a.dom.ac.uk and it is no longer indexed.

Is there a way for me to resolve this in Funnelback (collection) config?

Thanks

Andy

Apologies if my search skills have failed to find an obvious answer for this or it has been asked before and I have failed to find the correct phrase to use in searching the forum.

You should be able to use the server alias configuration for this - see the example here: server_alias.cfg :: Squiz DXP Help Center
