Can anyone explain the 'multiple url syntax' for action, or at least point
me in a direction.

I've a simplistic asp page with an action line where the get was two URLS,
or rather a URL with either a question mark (?) or an asterix (*) in the
URL. The question mark one I assuemd was some funky quertstring hijacking
but having come across the other now I'm confused. The page in question
has intermim problems which is way the problem came across my desk, but I've
not seen this syntax before although the relevant RFC's on w3c appear to
allow them as syntactic elements I dont understand what the browsers/server
are doing in response to it.

<FORM action="http://anexternal.companyssite.com/*http://mycompanys.site.com/my_form.asp"
method=get name=myForm>
