OK, title probably isn't the best there but it was the most concise way I could come up with for what I'm trying to do!
What we're trying to do is this (using this site as an example):
Say Snitz wanted to set up dating.snitz.com and have it pull up our site, staying withing that domain and with a custom Snitz banner instead of ours, how would we go about this? Obviously we don't want to be handing over any of our source code or revealing our databases username, password, etc.. Basically, what I think we need is some sort of feed that will process the ASP files on our server and return the HTML to the end user through Snitz. XML the way to go here or am I trying to use that as the "magic solution" again?!
Apologies if none of that makes any sense, I'm not exactly clear on it meself!  By the way, frames aren't an option - we need dating.snitz.com to function as a standalone entity. That, and they suck!

Sounds like the perfect solution  Cheers, Podge. Only foreseeable problem I can see is that some of the companies we're approaching with this proposal may not have the capabilty, knowledge or desire to do it this way.
What I'm thinking might be the easiest solution for those companies is just linking them straight into our sight via an "affiliate" link (see Woo.ie links in sig) and setting a permanent cookie on the visitor's machine and then using that to determine which banner to show. Upon registration, the affiliate ID could be stored in the MEMBERS table preventing any possible problems with cookie deletion, etc..
