I want to get a US IP so that my site is excluded from Canadian only
searches and included in US regional searches. However, I already have
an elaborate ORACLE infrastructure here in Canada and do not want to
actually move any of the hosting or data storage. I need to accomplish
the following:

1. Networksolutions.com WHOIS (and google etc.) must see the IP
Location associated with the domain kanetix.com as being in the United
States.
2. The forwarding must be search engine friendly. I definitely do
not want meta tag http refresh forwarding or 0-size frames
forwarding/domain masking.
3. The domain name must display in the browser throughout the whole
browsing experience. Initially the user will arrive at
www.mydomain.com and then when they click on links they will go to
www.mydomain.com/pages and so on. It must appear just as if it were
actually hosted at Bluehost (US Host)

So far the only idea I have come up with is to use a subdomain like
www2.mydomain.com. This could be accomplished using mod_rewrites.
1. I would keep the NS servers for mydomain.com pointing to the
Canadian nameservers but change the mydomain.com and www.mydomain.com
domains on that DNS interface to point to my Bluehost IP.
2. I will also add a DNS entry on the Canadian DNS manager for
www2.mydomain.com to point to the normal Canadian mydomain.com web
server.
2. On Bluehost in the .htaccess I will setup two rewrites, one for
- www.mydomain.com to www2.mydomain.com
- mydomain.com to www2.mydomain.com

I am asking if there is a better way to do accomplish my requirements
but not have to use a www2 domain? Someone suggested using Proxypass
directive in Apache. I will be eternally grateful if somebody could
give me some help.
