Re: [QUESTION] How to include content from another site (on the same server)?

Chris,

I've done something like this with mod_proxy. You can map url's to
external hosts and mod_proxy fetches the content and serves it back to
the user from your machine. It's a module written in C so it'll be a
lot faster than LWP.

Regards,

Mark.
