Thanks Ben, and Mike, for your replies. I like the idea of using routes, mainly because its more familiar and middleware is a bit of a black box to me still. I think at this point i'll set up a test and see if i can get it working then come back here if I have any problems. You've given me enough to go on, which is great.
Thanks guys.
