It sounds tough, because the browser isn't going to send the www.mainsite.com cookie to server1.mainsite.com. But wait, you said www was acting as a reverse proxy, so why would someone go directly to server1? If all the connections go through www, you can use mod_rewrite to check for existence of drupal's session cookie, and redirect to login if not found. If someone knew the setup, they could fake the drupal cookie, so if you're trying to protect something valuable using this scheme you may need to consider a different mechanism, such as an auto-prepend script that checks if the session is valid. -- Chris Snyder http://chxo.com/ _______________________________________________ New York PHP Community Talk Mailing List http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/talk NYPHPCon 2006 Presentations Online http://www.nyphpcon.com Show Your Participation in New York PHP http://www.nyphp.org/show_participation.php
