	What does it mean to forward with masking?

Solution If you decide to forward with masking, visitors are effectively kept from knowing they have been redirected. Forwarding with masking secures that your domain name remains in a visitor's browser's address bar when the visitor is being redirected. That way, the actual destination address is concealed from the user who only sees the domain name from which he or she is being forwarded.

If you are using regular forwarding, the destination address, not your domain name, is displayed when the visitor is redirected.

So if, for example, the destination Web page has the address http://members.geocities.com/users/username, that address can be hidden and www.yourdomain.com can be shown instead.
