You can do this with a flat file or DBM map that just maps superman to "thehost", or use a symlink to get from superman to "thehost". It should be a lot simpler to avoid the prg: map. I don't see why you should be sweating finding yourself all the way down to sub1 in one step, when superman->thehost seems to be the real problem. -- Eric Covener covener@xxxxxxxxx --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
