Two domains for the same WP instance – possible?

    Hi,
    I have searched and cant find a response, so please accept my apologies if this is an old topic.
    I recently installed WP and the install was a piece of cake. I configured the install for the public domain of my site and it works great. Problem is, the internal network (inside my firewall) has a different domain name to the public domain (x.org vs x.local).
    There are valid reasons for doing this but the issue is, I cant use WP from inside the firewall, where the address of the host is its internal name (e.g. – web.x.local) and the site is configured for the public domain (e.g. – http://www.x.org). None of the CSS seems to work and navigating the site is impossible due to the absolute references used in the navigation.
    I also have another domain that I want to point at this site but until it works for the internal/external domains, I am stuck.
    I am using that latest code (as of 20/07/2005) and am running it on Apache 2/SuSe Linux Enterprise Server, MySQL)
    Any comments or help greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    The domain URL where WP is installed is stored inside the database.
    Are you trying to get WP to function as a blog with one install but using two domains ? If so, you can’t – it will break.

    I’m not entirely sure what it is exactly you are trying to do.
