[UPHPU] load-balanced 301 redirects

[Jim Anderson]

on way to gp about it would be to sniff the http_host and then base a 
constant [or variable] upon the sniff.

here's an example of something i have done in the past that allowed me 
to have what you are asking for:


if (!stristr($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'], 'unmannedship.com')) {
    // development area
    define('BASE_URL', 'http://localhost/www.unmannedship.com/');
} else {
    // live site
    define('BASE_URL', 'http://www.unmannedship.com/');
}
