Sounds like a good idea, but might require some work. Maybe among with the other data Andrew Kenna suggest could be a absolute URL to the doc roots of each of the mirrors so that it wouldn't have to rely on referer for constructing the to-the-mirror-you-came-from url, or even a unique id from the search box on the site that tells the search engine which mirror you're coming from. Sounds good to have the search in a central place and still be getting the pages from the (hopefully) closer mirror. -- Thomas Eibner <http://thomas.eibner.dk/> DnsZone <http://dnszone.org/> mod_pointer <http://stderr.net/mod_pointer> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
