You don't need static content for this ! Using apache and mod_perl you can map something like cgi.pl?arg=foo to /cgi/arg/foo easy and fast. Search engines rely on GET requests so they follow any link that looks like foo.html, foo.cgi, foo/arg1/?arg2=bar, etc. > The site is built everynight from > a postgres database.

This would be much better kept in the database, and served from the database, than from the filesystem most of the time.

Have you thought of maybe mixing static and dynamic - some content can be generated nightly and other content served from the database depending on how often it is changed. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
