Hi,
Great work with this module here!

Here's what I am trying to achieve:
I need a static html home page, with links to the actual drupal site.

I need this to help reduce the load on the DB caused by the home page, because that's the page that's being viewed the most.
I plan to have a static front page which can be updated manually whenever required. But all links on this page would take me to the Drupal generated pages. So all hits to the front page by anonymous visitors are served by this page.

So basically I need a way to specify which pages (front page only - for now) to convert to html
AND
Maintain the links on the actual home page.

If you could point to how this could be done, I'd be really grateful.
I don't mind hacking the existing module, myself, to get this done.

There's a function that does a lot of the heavy lifting by generating an array map which maps the location of all possible internal paths and where they should now point in the new configuration. If you altered the map so that it didn't point to the "new" location but pointed to the original or a hardcoded version out on the web that would accomplish this. I've done this before to have HTML export generate Views (they didn't work if you sorted fields but it got all the data at a url location) so it is possible. I'm waiting for another maintainer to pickup and run with this project as I'm onto larger projects for awhile before I can get back to my original block of modules.
