I actually don't want it to go to the same module / controller / action,
because I can see there being some differences in checking for parameters or
doing some action.  I realize my example is oversimplified and it would make
sense for all three to go to the same.  I guess what I want is to use the
same models for all three sites, but different controller / action and
views.
