Separate hostname on same CI site

[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
I think I answered my own question, I got it to work with a mod_rewrite, I just put this in my httpd.conf virtual host section


<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /home/mainsite
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/simple$1 [NC]
ServerName simple.example.com
</VirtualHost>

so it's pointing the host now to the new controller, which works for me.

I guess my only consideration now is that everything's shifted --- since simple.example.com is now REALLY
www.example.com/simple -- the controller name is already taken -- so simple.example.com/test -- where as test would normally be the controller file is now a function in the controller, and on down the line.
