Hello Ben,

It been awhile since I've used it but you might look into redirect.root. If you can do some scripting, you could probably roll your own, there are several ways it could be done. Probably the pathEvaulation callback [1] would be the easiest.

Here is a pseudo script to get you started...

if string.lower (host) == "www.yourdomain.com" {
 «this assumes you have created a table named "wwwYourdomainComPathRedirects" in the scratchpad table and defined a counter item for each path redirect you want to track.
 local {
 url = ""};
 case string.lower (path) {
 "/mypathone" {
 scratchpad.wwwYourdomainComPathRedirects.mypathoneCt++;
 url = "http://www.someOtherdomain.com/"}};
 if url != "" {
 scriptError ("!redirect " + url)}}

Toodle-loooooooo..........
Thomas
