Isn't the question about REMOTE_HOST? Why are you talking about referer stuff at all? The two have nothing to do with each other. REMOTE_HOST is the resolved version of REMOTE_ADDR and is rarely set as it is way too time consuming to do a reverse DNS lookup on each ip that connects to your web server. But, REMOTE_ADDR is always set and you can use that to see where requests are coming from. But this has nothing to do with the referer.
If you are looking to detect the redirect, then the presence of REDIRECT_* variables will tell you that, but again, this has nothing to do with the referer. If you want to know where something was redirect from, try REDIRECT_URL. -Rasmus On Tue, 24 Dec 2002, John Taylor-Johnston wrote: > John, > CC: a copy of your next posts. I'll be back on Friday.
