Annet - It might be useful for you to draw a diagram. You are talking about two instances of web2py server; Each server can have many applications; >From webfaction's perspective - web2py is an "application"; from web2py's perspective - "welcome" is an application; If you draw a map of client request => dsn-lookup => your apache instance => wsgi => web2py => application you can start to see where things happen more clearly. For example: your client wants to have _their_ xxx.com redirect you annet.com/something/default/index: Where in your map can this be done? One is to have xxx.com (someone elses server) redirect (that then becomes a new request, i.e. a new address+parameters set); Another is to have two dns entries point to the same apache instance - for example, from panel.webfaction.com, menu: Domains/websites >> Websites, you can set more than one domain to point to your single web2py installation ( Domain/websites >> Applications) --- ie. you can have this.foo.com and www.bar.com both point to (for example) customweb2py: /my_web2py_app --- this represents webfaction setting up (in essence) your apache instance for you (through the panel). As you start to ask the questions of "what comes in at this point?" and "what can be done at this level", you will start seeing more clearly what your possibilities are, and then can start asking yourself what the various tradeoffs are for redirections etc. at various points in your map. There are various tools, command line and network monitoring that you can get into if you want to see more details of what is going back and forth, but start by making some model for yourself of what the path is from that web browser to your controller. I hope this is helpful.
