Hi Joshua,

Thanks for the info...

I have not had any success with the internal redirect...   if I remove the
[R] then I get a 404 page not found error.

I'm using mod_jk to link up the back-end tomcat servers (it does do load
balancing).  I wonder if somehow it needs an external redirect for this to
work?

Cheers,
Jon
