Well the cobalt runs apache, so it isn't to difficult.

1. make a virtual site for example: http://redirect.vuurwerk.nl
2. cname your domain to this redirect.vuurwerk.nl
3. edit the httpd.conf
add:

<VirtualHost www.blaat.co.uk>
ServerName www.blaat.co.uk
Redirect / http://www.yourdomain.ext/connect/
</VirtualHost>

or

<VirtualHost www.blaat.co.uk>
ServerName www.blaat.co.uk
Redirect / http://www.yourdomain.ext/~connect/
</VirtualHost>

this should work, but I haven't tried it on a cobalt.
