setting session or cookie based on domain name

codeFlick

Hi All,

Here's my question...

I have multiple domains all pointing to the same generic dynamic
webpage. Depending on the domain used, I want to query my database and
retrieve certain display settings such as certain graphics, background
colors and so on...

What would be the best way to do this without using any redirects or
Request.ServerVariables(*"http_referer") or anything like that?

Is there any way it can be done server side or something really
completely transparent to the visitor.

Many Thanks
