Hi! I currently have a rule in my iptables firewall script like this: iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -s 1.2.3.4 --dport http -j DNAT --to 5.6.7.8:80 This successfully "redirects" a client trying to go to www.somewhere.com and sends them to a web site on my webserver, and displays the default web page for that web site. This works fine. However, this happens on every request from the client. Is there a way to have the prerouting happen only once, and then not happen after that? I'd like to redirect them to a web page that contains news or important imformation. Once they've visited this page, I'd like for them to not see it again until later (if ever). I was looking at the "-m recent" extension, but I'm not sure if this will work. Any ideas/suggestions? many thanks, mack
