Yes - I thought this after I first posted.  The browser establishes
the connection, and the server knows nothing about the machine which
gave the browser the redirect.

I'll have a look in the logs.

Well the solution is that I've said there's nothing I can do about it,
and our Korean 'squatter' is not doing anything illegal.  That Nestle
should write to Danone and let them know what's happening, and say
that its not of their doing, nor do they approve of it.

I just wondered if there was some way of seeing the information I say
in the packet I pasted, and doing some kind of intelligent filtering
based on the content of that packet.
