If you need to automatically extract "profilename" from the request to build your redirect, then no, it's not possible. But at Exceliance, we're working on a way to extract generic data from a request in order to be able to reuse it elsewhere (ACL, stickiness, hashing). So while I did not thinkg about it, it would then be possible to adapt the redirect code so that it can use such data too. > Atm its only reason why we are still using nginx ;] If it's doing that well, you have no reason to replace it. The best tool for each task provides you with the best architecture. Regards, Willy
