Are you doing site redirection
  (Location: http://wwww.someoffsiteaddress.com/somedir/index.html)
or local redirection (Location: /myonsitedir/index.html)?

If you are doing local redirection then I highly recommend using XiFusion
v2.5 as it will do both absolute (/myonsitedir/index.html) and relative
(../myonsitedir/index.html) local redirection on the server end of things.
Instead of passing the information constantly between the browser, Xitami
webserver, and your scripts, XiFusion will cut out the unnecessary
redirections (and add functionality for relative local redirections).
Granted, XiFusion is designed primarily for ColdFusion, but it will also
work with PHP (officially) and Perl (unofficially).  (XiFusion is available
for both Linux and Windows 9x/NT).

If you are performing site redirection, then it is the browser's
responsibility and XiFusion won't help your situation any.

XiFusion v2.5 can be obtained from:  <http://www.shininglightpro.com/>.
  Click Products->Intel x86->XiFusion to get to the information and
download page.

Hope this helps!
