The parametric router, at least, performs its rewrites regardless of whether the resulting URL will be absolute. So if you're splitting the apps between hosts, and you want outgoing URLs to be rewritten, then I suppose it makes sense to put both apps in the router files on both hosts. You might also need to turn on the exclusive_domain flag, to guard against generating a non-absolute URL between apps. > > On Tuesday, February 26, 2013 10:46:06 PM UTC-6, Jonathan Lundell wrote: > > Generally speaking, to redirect to another host you need to pass the host as > an argument to URL().
