Give a Child Portal its own domain name

[llarose]

I have read the DNN documentation and seem to be missing something. I'm trying to set up my portal with a child portal that can be accessed with its own domain name. I changed the child portal's alias to include the new domain name as follows:
"www.parent.com/child, www.newdomain.com"

Plus, when I registered the new domain name, I pointed to to the DNS information where my parent portal lives. The documentation talks about changing the header informaion in IIS IF the second portal is also a parent, but it is not.

The parent works, and the child mostly works if I access it through www.parent.com/child.

Could this be a limitation of my hosting plan, or have I simply missed something?

Thanks for any help,

Did you set up a domain pointer?

Since I'm not sure what you mean, probably not. Can you tell me how to do that?

Now, I see what you mean. Right after posting my second question, (how?), I found the following atricle that may be helpful to anyone else trying to do this...
