Most everything is resolving, but here is an example

http://www.microsoft.com/isapi/redir.dll?prd=ie&pver=6&ar=msnhome

This is the default homepage for IE in WINDOWS XP. With all the new students
coming in and this not resolving right, this could cause problems. I may go to
the mod_rewrite solution, but will that affect the admin interface in
cgi_bin??
