It seems you're both saying that looking at the CGI vars is the way to go for
part 1. I understand from the cfdocs that not all browsers support all of the
different cgi vars, does anyone have any first hand experience of this? should
i look at cgi.server_name or cgi.http_host?
Slight misunderstanding here. CGI variables come from the web server
not the web browser. Yes different servers offer somewhat different
sets of CGI variables. Some CGI values are more universal across
servers then others. But you should be well aware of what web server
(i.e. IIS, Apache, whatever) you are using and can adjust your code
accordingly.

re DNS etc - forgive me this isn't my strong point, so i'll probably ask my
host to assist with this, but if anyone could please give me a simple outline
of what i'm seeking to achieve re the DNS / hosting etc that would be great as
then i can pass that onto my host
DNS is a simple database of domain names matched to IP addresses. So
how what we are discussing works is that you make multiple entries into
this database, one for each domain name, all pointing to the same IP
address of you application.
I.E.
www.southendlocaljobs.co.uk -> 111.222.111.222
www.chelmsfordlocaljobs.co.uk -> 111.222.111.222
There is a bit more to it then this, but your hosting provider is going
to understand the details and be able to walk you through this.
