I'd say that if it's an option, you can use ISAPI re-write to send domains.com users to domain.com. That is probably more efficient than having CF do it.
But, if that's not an option for you, I'd put it in onRequestStart instead. If it's onSessionStart and, for some reason, you happen to have a link inadvertently pointing to domains.com, the user won't get redirected (because their session already has started). [or, if you have a user who insists on changing the URL again to domains.com] It does add a little overhead on every request, but it's more likely to ensure the user stays on domain.com Scott On Thu, Jun 3, 2010 at 9:06 AM, Che Vilnonis <[email protected]> wrote: > > Here is the scenario.
