Looking for help on deciding how to redirect users to a mobile optimized version of my site (m.mysite.com).

Looking at two methods:

Server configuration (.htaccess or even varnish)
Webapp (php)

The problem I see with #1 is with the "view full site" link on the mobile site. If a user clicks that link and they go to mysite.com won't the server just redirect them back to m.mysite.com?

For #2 I could create a cookie that is checked in addition to the user agent.

Any suggestions/comments? Is there a better way to "remember" if the user clicked "visit full site"?

The only alternative to using a cookie is having your portal (index) redirect to m.mywebsite.com with the implicit understanding that m.mywebsite.com will never link to the plain pages at mywebsite.com.

I'd suggest that you use option #1 and set a cookie once they've been redirected. This will be effective in not just the current session of the user; but also future sessions.
