David,

According to the comment in the spider.cgi file this seems not to be
possible.

<quote>

# Please note that the HOSTNAME MUST be resolvable from the user end. Otherwise
the
# web interface will NOT work.
# Uncomment and set the hostname manually here if the above fails.

Since the ampr.org address is not reachable from Internet and the
Internet address  not reachable from Ampr-net this seems to be
impossible.

Solutions two copies of spider.cgi, one that if called from Internet
refers to taurus2.plus.com and one that if called from Ampr-Net refers
to gb7imk.ampr.org (the HOSTNAME parameter)

For now that is the only solution I see.

Pd. Of course you could also modify the spider.cgi code so that it looks
for the client hostname. if the client hostname is an Ampr-Net address
the HOSTNAME variable in spider.cgi needs to be an Ampr-Net address, if
not a Internet hostname.
