In this case, you could have a page strictly for redirection (let's
call it
redirect.cfm).
Then, in that file you'd do something like this:
<cfparam name="URL.q" default = "">
<cfif len(URL.q) gt 0 then>
<cflocation url="#URL.q#">
<cfelse>
... redirect to another page - either back, or an error page maybe
</cfif>
This would display the page, without the actual refering link
(www.mysite.com/redirect.cfm?q=http://anothersite.com), and would
allow you
to add logging or anything else before the CFLOCATION call.
Hopefully I understood what you are asking correctly.

I know about the status bar, what I'm asking is, what is the code
behind
/url?q=http://www.gamblehouse.com
how are they reffering the webpage, without the
/url?q=http://www.gamblehouse.com
address appear on my browser?
Thanks.
