OK, now I see where you're going - but it appears that I HAVE to use a Perl
script to do this processing.  Not being a Perl programmer (at all) how
difficult is it to create a short script that will create a redirect using a
QueryString?  For example: You type 'www.mydomain.com/fred'.  'fred' is not
found, so it redirects to the magical Perl script.  The script pulls 'fred'
from the URL, and issues a redirect to 'www.mydomain.com/vsite.asp?u=fred'.
I know this is probably write-it-in-my-sleep easy for a decent Perl
programmer, but it's beyond me.  Can anyone help?  Thanks!
