This is even more odd... Apparently, 1and1 have changed something (I sure haven't) and now /1 works, but their pre-defined rules for 404 docs still don't work for /a but work for /ab Thanks for checking it out! Just wish 1and1 wasn't changing things out from under me while I'm trying to debug it. :-v PS I actually wanted /1 to re-direct to 1and1.com homepage as an example, so now it's working fine... -- Some people have a "gift" link here.
