Stefan is on the right track.  Redirecting by ip is easy esp when you 
are willing to use cgi and ssi.   There's no need for any time lapse 
or refresh.

Just create a simple script to redirect based upon ip.  You can 
easily redirect those outside the intranet one direction and those 
inside the intranet another direction.

I've done this a many times over the years.  I keep an example at 
http://alft.net/software/ip2block/  Obviously you create your own to 
do whatever you want.

One of the things I *really* like about (windows) Xitami is the ability 
to use simple win32 binaries with full ssi.   After years of severe 
limitations and abuse by isp's, I have complete freedom.  Xitami 
just fell out of the blue sky and blessed my computer.  Praise be!
