URL Cloaking

Hey there,
I've recently purchased a domain name: "sample.com". And had that
domain be redirected to a DNS on zoneedit.com. Now, through zoneedit,
I am forwarding my domain to my webserver, which is hosted on my
computer through Apache. I have the cloaking option active so that
when someone goes to www.sample.com/folder/, it redirects to
http://my.ip.addy/folder/, but keeps "www.sample.com/folder/" in the
address bar. Which is working exactly how I want it to. But my problem
is that when people go to "www.sample.com/folder/" and right click on
the webpage then go properties, you see the URL address as:
"http://my.ip.addy/index.html". Is there anyway to set-up an Alias
somewhere so that people don't see my IP in the properties?

Thanks

No. Frames just provide a new 'window' to load a page in, they don't change
anything about that page. (And the server can't tell the user that its real
address is something else without redirecting them there, so the page has
to exist at that location for it to work).

Meanwhile the 'cloaking' is breaking bookmarking and doing nasty things for
your search engine position.

zoneedit simple makes a frame site.
