Hi Alice Yes, my mistake.
In fact, I have misquoted the issue on reflection. There is only one servername we want shown to the user so in fact the issue is more: User requests www.xyz.com.au which we want to point to www.xyz.com.au/test/page1, hence why the loop is created of course. Therefore the issue is more how we strip the /test from the shown URL.
