There must be some server-side intelligence to handle the job.

The HTML snippets on the sites need not have unique IDs if the program on the CommodoRing server recognizes the Referer header. If the contents of the Referer header matches with one of the stored patterns in the database (which may be as simple as one line of text for each site, embedded in the Perl script), then the script sends a 302 Moved Temporarily reply with another URL. There could be a default redirect URL for those cases when the Referer address is not recognized. Or the script could simply list all the member URLs in that case.
