Hi,

have you tried this without any format strings? As far as I can
tell, they are only useful when you want to redirect based on
parts of the original request's host. In your case, if there's only
one front-end host that needs to be redirected, it isn't necessary
to "know" the original host name at all. Otherwise, %-1H should
probably work (if you have www2 and www3 as the back tier hosts).

Hi

I've tried it without format strings and it doesn't work at all. I've
also tried the format string "%-3S.%1H". Same result.

I switch it back to .com and it all works fine. Is there any kind of
debug or log that I can turn on to help identify what is going on?

Thanks

Kee
