Why not just write parsing / mapping extension for a webserver you (Novell) provide for Netware? You could handle all of this for your NDS & BINDERY naming scheme and keep it internal to Netware environment and proxy it in your own Web server product. For example, the above URL section "/@@NDS:webserver.IS.novell.us" could be specified as "/NDS/webserver.IS.novell.us" and Novell specific mappings / translations deal with the NDS/BINDERY specific naming. -- Cheers!
