Very very true.  Don't just use cgi.server_name!

AFAIK this isn't actually very easy to achieve.  One way around this is to
use the HTTP_REFERER (spelling is awful in the US) so long as you KNOW that
the link to the page came from the same site.  However, I suspect that this
is not the case as you almost certainly wouldn't need this otherwise.

If it's possible to use client side info, then get the info with Javascript.
The reason being that if you need the user to click on something, or send
them to another page, then it's a client-side interaction.  If (and this is
possible) you want to send the user an email with a clickable link in it,
then you can send them any link you want that will refer them to where they
expect to go (as opposed to the site you think it should go to).  Long way
round and may not be too useful!
