This brings up a relevant question I've had for some time: Is there any difference in using host headers vs. CGI variables to direct traffic based on requested URL? I've been under the impression for some time that the latter method bears certain caveats, for example, incompatibility with some older browsers (though I've never personally witnessed it). Would the same caveats apply exactly to host headers on IIS or is this method somehow more robust?
Anybody? Thank you. Dave -- David M.
