I think he means they host a LOT of virtual sites and want to redirect all
the customers formmail.pl's to one secure that resides on a single server.

If he follows your guidelines (thanx anyways) he would have to yank in a
LOT of sites :)
I also posted something about this subject... he already rewrites urls to
a hashed dir on the disc, and now we only want to rewite the formmail.pl's
to another server...


Thanx in advance,
