[support] Front Page

I've create a page-front.tpl.php to specifically change how this front-page should look. This works fine. The default page.tpl.php is the standard and that also works fine. I am also running clean-urls and turned on the Path module (all in Apache 2.0.x and PHP mind you).

The problem is that when I go to http://localhost/mysite .... yes this shows: page-front.tpl.php However, if I go to http://localhost/mysite/default.htm ... then it shows page.tpl.php .... which is NOT what I want.

How can I tell Drupal 5.5, that these are both the same front page so I get the right page template?

I wonder if I should just have a page-nid.tpl.php to solve the issue?

Thanks! Tom
