How can you test against a user's location/domain?

[Guest_imported]

I'm supposed to be writing a page that, if a user is from an approved domain they go one place, and if they are not from an approved domain, they go another. How do I check what domain a user is coming from?

you can do so in coldfusion, you can do so in any client side language (javascript, vbscript) [all these using the referrer property] but all those are UNSAFE (maybe easy but definitly dangerous)
set it in your web server rather. As it depends on which web server you're using, i'd suggest you post your question in the appropriate forum, where you're more likely to get an answer.

ColdFusion has a set of cgi functions you can use to get info about client or server; to get the client IP (domain), you'll use CGI.REMOTE_ADDR;

example:

<cfoutput>
#CGI.REMOTE_ADDR#
</cfoutput>

this will return the IP address of the client system requesting the template Sylvano
