Use Web URL to publish to a different domain
I may not understand how to use the Destination's Web URL. Or else I'm asking if I can bypass Sites when I want to.
We're planning some small one-off microsites that won't be used very much. I was hoping to ask our IT administrators to set up a single new Site called web-server.tamu.edu to house all the microsites. Within the Base Folder, I would create a folder for each microsite. I wanted to create a Destination for each microsite, and use the Web URL to designate the actual URL for the site. If the Web URL in my first Destination was http://site1.tamu.edu, I wanted links to site1 on the web-server site to be rewritten as http://site1.tamu.edu when published to that destination. In fact, I set the Web URL to "http://site1.tamu.edu" for the default destination on the Content Type for /site1/index, but I can't get that URL to appear in links - only http://web-server.tamu.edu.

Hi Michael,
This should work, but there are a few requirements that need to be met in order for the Destination's Web URL to be used. These requirements are:
[system-asset:configuration]
tag or simply linking to a page that has a different default Configuration.More information can be found on the Destination page in our Knowledge Base.
So what we need to confirm is if each of your sub-sites have Pages using their own Configuration Sets and have Content Types mapped to specific Destinations with unique Web URLs.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks!

Thanks. I had read the documentation several times but I got it to work when I confirmed the basics of "what we need to confirm," as you put it. That is, if the sub-site's Content Types are set to publish to a certain Web URL, Cascade will be able to figure that out when it creates the links to the sub-site.
