Sure. You could make a new tempalte set, for example "syndication", and then call it with;
gforum.cgi?t=syndication
You may need to pass t=setname along in each URL though.
Hope that helps.

In theory, yes. You could just setup some mod_rewrite, so it does stuff like this (for each of the functions/commands);
http://www.domainc.om/cgi-bin/forum/forum.cgi?;category=7
... could translate to;
http://www.mymaindomain.com/cgi-bin/gforum/gforum.cgi?;category=7&t=mydomain
This could be done with something like (on the domain.com site, not mymaindomain.com);
^forum/gforum\.cgi?category=.* http://www.mymaindomain.com/cgi-bin/gforum/gforum.cgi?;category=$1&t=mydomain [L]
You could probably get a few ideas/pointers by looking at the "Search Engine Friendly" mod_rewrite codes; as they list the main functions.
Hope that helps.
