Well, after studying your website for a few hours, I have come to the
conclusion that, yes, I have no background with the Apache Rewrite rule ;)

I am not sure if this is what you are talking about but here are these:

I should imagine you could do that without frames by using an Apache
'Rewrite' rule.  There's loads of info here:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/misc/rewriteguide.html

If I do this, would I be able to "rewrite" a subdirectory of my normal
domain
to my secure domain (the one with the SSL cert)?  Ie. rewite
https://www.domain.com/secure to http://www.securedomain.com/shop1?  Would
the browser complain that the SSL cert doesn't match the domain name?

It's not really essential, it's just that I can only install one cert (as I
only have one IP) and hence will only have one secure domain; I just thought
it might look neater this way.
--------------------------

I feel bad for being so terse with Steve, so here's the apache code to
do a redirect (though a staticly-built index.html which links to the
cgi-bin is faster).

RewriteEngine On

# matches on http://myhost.com
RewriteRule     ^$      /cgi-bin/e/index.html  [PT,L]

# matches on http://myhost.com/
RewriteRule     ^/$     /cgi-bin/e/index.html  [PT,L]

# don't change URLs like /cgi-bin/*
RewriteRule     ^/cgi-bin/.* -               [PT,L]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

HTH
