Who says we do not have a clue? ;-)
There are multiple ways:
1) The easiest way is to create a model file in your app that does:
redirect(URL(args=request.args, vars=request.vars,
host='your.new.host.com'))
2) It can be done at the routes level
routes_in = [
('/appname','301->http://your.new.host.com/appname/default/index'),
('/appname/default','301->http://your.new.host.com/appname/default/index'),
('/appname/default/index','301->http://your.new.host.com/appname/default/index'),
#... more rules as needed
]
3) (recommended) use iptables
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -d 1.1.1.1 -j DNAT --to-destination 2.2.2.2
iptables -t filter -A FORWARD -d 1.1.1.1 -j ACCEPT
1.1.1.1 being the old server, and 2.2.2.2 being the new server.
this will work even if the old server and the new server have the same DNS
domain name!
3) is recommended because although web2py can do it, this is really not a
job for web2py. This is a job for the OS.
