 redirect in there ( on a RAQ2 any way )
 on a raq3 I did see some stuff that looked a bit like it

On the Raq2 it's a server wide rewrite , look in srm.conf

Other 'magic' names, /siteadmin,/personal,/.cobalt, /cgi-bin/.cobalt

/icons , /cobalt-images/, /error/,/cgiwrapDir/ 

Rather a lot of namespace pollution ...

No easy way to change it tho, it's not IP specific....

You might be able to rewrite it in the vhost sections before the alias
gets applied, never tried it tho...easier to just think up a new directory
name ;)
