You can also use host-node map without the re-direct, right? In other words, you could transparently (or opaquely, depending on how you look at it) map requests for greenpeace.nl/ to www.greenpeace/nederland_nl/ without redirecting to the subsite url. That seemed to me to be the design intent of the host-node map. The last time I played with it, openacs would forget about your login state from the main site because cookies are accessed according to the root url. Was that why you chose to redirect?
