It was pointed out to me that I used the wrong term here. Not being a web 
expert, I called it the "Referring URL". I wasn't aware that meant 
something different then what I planned.

What I should have said was: I've seen ones that can forward based on the 
Hostname.

Basically, I've seen ones that can do the same thing many web servers can 
do. You put in a URL, it hits the router, parses the request, figures out 
what domain you want, and where that domain is, and forwards to the 
correct place. Much as many web servers can do to let them host multiple 
sites on the same server.


I just wanted to make the correction because apparently "Referrer" means 
something entirely different in web speak. So its probably a good idea to 
know that before you start looking for something and get told it can't do 
it, when it really CAN you just used the wrong word and thus were 
unknowingly asking for a totally different ability.


And now that we are WAY off topic for a SIMS list... I'll be quiet now.
