Point existing domain to wordpress MU site on another server

Question

How do we point existing domain to wordpress MU site on another server? Here's the setup.

1. Server A has WPMU installed, with network setup of subfolders. www.wpmuinstall.com/site1
2. Server B has a domain hosted on it.. www.clientdomain.com
3. We want to point www.clientdomain.com from ServerB to ServerA www.wpmuinstall.com/site123

If above is not possible, we can switch to site1.wpmuinstall.com but then how do we point this site1.wpmuinstall.com to the siteid1 ? We have the WordPress MU Domain Mapping plugin installed but the WPMU is still setup as subfolders.

Please advise on how to accomplish client domain pointing to our wpmu site. Ideally we want to setup something like wordpress.com with custom domains pointing to subsites.

Thanks

If you are working with paths, install Wordpress Domain Mapping plugin and follow the steps described on this article. It will let you map a domain to a path in your server.

If you are using subdomains, then:

1. Add the desired subdomain to a site.
2. Point www.clientdomain.com to your wordpress server.
3. On your server, add the domain www.clientdomain.com and make it point to your wordpress installation.
4. Wait until DNS changes take effect.
5. Your site should be ready.
