I haven't tried it either, but my first impression is that it does things
rather transparently.  I really want a proper redirect so that the url in
the browser address bar changes.  Unless I misunderstand (which I probably
do), this product would seem to give me the same result as the
'PortableHole' product, which was also suggested to me.

thanks for the help though,
