Wouldn't url rewriting be better for this?

I posted it to Serverfault several days ago and haven't gotten any response, and it's become a rather critical issue. ----------------- I've written a custom 404 handler for Apache. The handler looks at the incoming URL (cgi.request_url), queries a database table, and responds by redirecting the visitor to the new URL. What should happen: www.mysite.co.uk gets redirected to www.mysite.com That much works fine. But when we get to more complex urls: www.mysite.co.uk/contact.aspx should go to www.mysite.com/contact/ Something (Apache?) is stripping out the contact.aspx portion of it so I can't tell where to send the user. In fact, what's happening instead is contact.aspx is replaced with index.cfm (the name of the 404 handler). No other variables returned in the CGI scope contain the contact.aspx part of the url. Of course, we have the domain to be redirected pointed at this server via DNS, and configured in Apache, since the simple versions of the URL work fine. Is there a configuration setting or something to get it to stop stripping out the rest of the url? Thanks!
