Re: htDig and Multiple Domains (virtual domains)?

Bruce,

I've done this by having two separate configs and then using htmerge to
merge both results sets into a third. This allows my users to pick A, B, or
ALL when searching. Note that they can only pick ONE config to use while
searching.

Take a look at htdig -d and htdig -m.

Hope this helps.
