If you're on IIS, I highly recommend downloading ISAPI Rewrite (www.isapirewrite.com), then use the following rules in httpd.ini:
[ISAPI_Rewrite] RepeatLimit 20 # Defend your computer from some worm attacks RewriteRule (/dyn/.*?)(\?[^/]*)?/([^/]*)/([^/]*)(.+?)? $1(?2$2&:\?)$3=$4?5$5: [N,I] RewriteRule /dyn(.+?)/?(\?.*)? $1.cfm$2 [I] .. You can change the 'dyn' to whatever you want, but that would enable URL's like: http://www.abc.com/dyn/info/articleid/34 http://www.abc.com/info.cfm?articleid=34 All URL's without the /dyn/ (or whatever you decide) will be processed normally. With a bit of foresight in naming your pages and variables, you can accomplish fancy URL's like: http://www.abc.com/dyn/view/product/shoes Have fun!
