I'm using apache 2.0 Don't, don't, don't. You destroy a large part of the usefullness of your website to achieve a silly cosmetic change. For example, you prevent bookmarking, you prevent your users from emailing links to each other, you may wreck caching, etc. For some perspectives on the issue, see: http://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/Axioms.html http://www.w3.org/Provider/Style/URI.html http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/WD-webarch-20021115/#identification (And note that if the W3C did what you are proposing, I couldn't point you to those resources.) Now, if you really want to wreck your website, the most common technique used to do this is to make your homepage a frameset with a 100% frame containing the real content. In addition to all the other problems mentioned abose, this brings with it a bunch of other problems that come with frames. There are a couple other techniques, but they aren't really any better. None of this, of course, has anything to do with apache.
