That would mean making the root directory a redirect, which I don't think you want to do, unless none of your other URLs are at the root. Sure you can't convince him to use a subdomain? bossman.mydomain.com? Some kind of ego boost to get him to go for it?
On the mod_rewrite, I'm not following the question. You want the /BillHenderson to stay in the address bar? I tried the very first one that came up on Dave's Google search and it leaves the original URL in the address bar. I'm on IE 6.

Dan - you wrote: 2) In IIS, for that directory or subdomain, go to properties and choose the directory tab. Change the 'When connecting to this resource, the content should come from:' option to 'A redirection to a URL', and enter in the redirect to box "/people.cfm?person=$0". (use the help on that tab to see other options) I would love to do this, however, boss wants http://www.mydomain.com/BillHenderson format only. Is there any way I can do something close to what you suggested without straying from the boss man's idea? And as far as the URL rewrites, I found a IIS mod_rewrite and started playing around with it, it looks like I can do what I need, but I need to have that format showing in the browser's address bar. Any workarounds?
