you request www.domain.com/whatever
proxy directs to www2.domain.com/whatever

user always sees the domain they type, but coldfusion sees what the proxy
redirects to.
Thus if coldFusion uses server_name it will us ethe wrong address as it uses
the proxy address.
Damian needs the address that is in the browser.

I'm confused by this...

DNS name www.whatever.com  ->  Proxy webserver 1
                                         Proxy webserver 2
                                         Proxy webserver 3

So SERVER_NAME should aways be whatever.com ???

Unless, when you go to www.whatever.com you get *redirected* to
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/whatever or http://proxy1.whatever.com
In this case you chould use the HTTP_REFERER possibly. HTTP_HOST should give
the server IP address if thats any help.

Justin
