These are two servers, one connected to a adsl connection with fixed ip, 
the other is a server connected to a cable network without fixed ip.
Both servers are using the same directories for the files to be served (not 
for the config of course).
The adsl connection is always online but slow, the cable is faster but has 
no fixed ip.

invasion is the name of a directory.
The redirect executable gets the ip address of the cable server and creates 
a page containing

    STDOUT "<html><head><meta http-equiv='refresh' content='0; url=http://";
    STDOUT ipaddress$;
    STDOUT ":20800/";
    STDOUT ENVIRON$("QUERY_STRING");
    STDOUT "'></head></html>";

The query string is what the executable gets from Xitami and is what follow 
the question mark in a normal request. (The example given above is a 
working one)

It is possible to create one executable for each directory to be served, 
but if there is a different way to do that, i would prefer it.
