Hi All,

Sorry if this has been posted twice coz I'm not sure if it has been posted.

Would be grateful if anyone could help. I'm trying to find out whether it is feasible to do this work on the server side.

The scenario is this: Our user on his/her web browser typed an url, browser send url to DNS to check and found it to be invalid, and display an error page to the user.

Instead of the above process flow, is it possible that we could intercept the invalid result from the DNS server, send the user typed url as keywords to a search engine, and display the search results to this user?

At the moment we have a javascript which could send keywords to Yahoo, and Yahoo returns a xml file to us and then we customize our own page. We then return this page to the user's web browser.

Best Regards,

Wilson
