That's true sine I gave the example of am.mydomain.com points to 
www.mydomain.com/fea/.... where it wouldn't hit Interchange at the main 
request.  I will probably be looking into mod_rewrite again.  

One question though, while using Perl (or ITL) code in ITL can I get the 
server name (HTTP_HOST) or any of the other environment variables?
