There is the clumsy work-around of using frames. A single-frame frameset in
page url.html inserts the page at url2.html into the frame thus leaving the
address as url.html whilst displaying the contents of url.html

Having said that - it's a solution (of sorts) that causes more problems than
it's worth. Why not just put the contents of url2.html into the page at
url.html and have done with it?

The address is there to tell site visitors which location they are visiting
rather than for the site owner to tell them which location s/he would like
to mislead them into thinking they are visiting.

You could simply have the page on http://url2.html include a SSI that
requests the content from that page or simply have a cgi on
http://url2.html that handles all requests and gets the page from the
other site and serves it up.

Good chance of performance problems on a heavily loaded site, unless
you can cache the pages from http://url.html on http://url2.html in
some way.
