Adding main site to forums – need help

[DevOne5555]

Our site has been open since February. It's a vBulletin forum hosted on a dedicated server. Currently we use a redirect on our webserver to direct all traffic from domain.info to domain.info/forums/. In Google Webmaster Tools our main domain is also configured as domain.info (we use vbseo for URL rewriting and sitemap generation). Our primary listing on Google is domain.info (even though it's really domain.info/forums/).

We just purchased MediaBlinkk to act as our main site, which will link to our forums. The MediaBlinkk site is hosted on a separate server.

My question is, what's the best way to go about changing our setup so that domain.info will forward to the MediaBlinkk server, and what things do I need to do so that the new front page of the site won't hurt our PR or cause us to lose things like Site Links? Should I add new preferred listings to my Webmaster Tools for our forums? (i.e. domain.info/forums/)

It's impossible for 1 domain to point to 2 servers.

You will need to use a subdomain inorder to do that, and that would mean moving your forum.

The best way to do this is to NOT do to this.
