I looked into getting PHP to talk to a Lotus notes database, and was
really really scared..!
I think this is my best bet, for now at least... however, my simple code
does not work?
Wierd...
Any other ideas?

Re: [PHP] A work around my HTTP_REFERER Prob...
What about allowing your UK server to access the database of your USA
Server? You could open a port to that specific IP address only, ...
Then authenticating users on the UK server would work like a charm.
You could even create a 'shared' database for basic session
information.
I think if sessions are used the overhead would not be overly serious
except for the one time a user has to log in.
Ok, I have no idea whatsoever about how to access a Domino Server, but
there just has to be a way... XMLRPC?
just a thought ...
