internal pages

[Jim Kruse]

At Emory University we discussed early on that there are 
really three basic views of the Emory Web/Internet.

     The view of Emory for people at Emory

     The view of Emory for people outside of Emory

     And the view of the Internet for people at Emory.

When people connect to Emory a Perl script checks to see if 
they are inside or outside Emory and then they are given 
either the Internal or External view.

How you decide to set things up needs to be based on the 
user base you are trying to support and their requirements.

At Emory we have about half of the 1.5+ million access of 
our server from outside of Emory.  This is significant and 
worth the time to design a "Visitors" view as a starting 
point for people outside of Emory.
