I usually use <a href="#cgi.server_name#/blog/entries.htm">...</a>
Which means the url will always be correct. If you use your example below, and you have multiple domains pointing to the same site (aliases), then if they are accessing your site form one of the aliases they could be redirected to a different domain and will thus lose their session.

However, I would never HARD CODE that value as I agree, why change everything later when some programming will take care of the trick. .......................

I don't like the idea of rebuilding a crashed server and trying to get all the mappings in place before anything works. That decision also has a lot to do with the structure of the applications here. !k ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:262321 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
