Who's not running Apache? :) I believe that SSI is fairly common, although I don't know whether IIS supports it :) Ok - if we don't want to do that then we at least need a way of branding cgi-hosts into the local copy so that each mirror can choose to point the punters to the "local" cgi server. We want to run a cgi server here in the UK, but it makes little sense until we can point all to it by default from the UK web mirrors.
