Rails - May 2006 - Route 1st domain to a controller, 2nd domain to con/act/id

I''m having trouble with mapping a first domain to:

    map.connect '':action'', :controller =>
''admin''

I can get that to work, and I''d be fine if there''s only one
domain
pointing to my app.

However, I will point several domains to the app, so I only want that 
route for one domain.

I''ve tried:

    map.connect '':action'', :controller =>
''admin'' if @request.host ==
''domain.com''

but I get an error about nil.host.  I''m not sure but it seems @request 
is undefined in routes.rb.


How might I get this done?


Thanks,
Bill

Hello Bill,

You should take a look at the Rails "Request Routing" plugin  
mentioned in the following post:
http://weblog.rubyonrails.org/articles/2006/05/22/dan-webbs-request- 
routing-plugin

It looks like it will fullfill your need.

That looks good.  A little more digging reveals routes.rb is set once, 
before @request is set.

The plugin is a nice work around.

Thanks,
