Exactly. Once that happens, we could do something like redirect all requests to */openoffice.org/* addresses back to existing Oracle servers, except for specific URL's that we redirect to Apache pages. As we migrate things we redirect more and more to Apache. We may have dozens of such redirection defined. What is required to make this happen, at least the first step where Apache gets the initial HTTP requests and does the redirects to the existing servers? Do we need anything from Oracle? -Rob > Regards, > Dave > >> >> -Rob >> >>> Ross >>> >>> -- >>> Ross Gardler (@rgardler) >>> Programme Leader (Open Development) >>> OpenDirective http://opendirective.com >>> > >
