Domain (D)

Learn how to use the Domain config.txt directive to specify an Internet domain whose URLs should be rewritten by EZproxy.

Domain (also written as D) specifies an Internet domain whose URLs should be rewritten by EZproxy. If port is omitted, then any server using any port within the domain should be rewritten. If the port is included, then only servers using the specified port should be rewritten.

Domain is a repeatable, position-dependent config.txt directive that interacts with database stanzas, groups, interface directives and IP ranges.
