Ben,
I'm not certain that I understand you, but maybe this helps:

Look at the cookie maker scripts at:
http://www.builder.com/Programming/Kahn/111997/

The function there called getCookie()
returns a "null" if the cookie is not there.

So use their script, and then you do this:

<script language="JavaScript">
<!-- hide script
var temp = getCookie('yourcookiename');
if (temp == null) {
        fwd = "index1.html";
        }       else    {
        fwd = "index2.html";
        }
}
location.replace(fwd)
// end hiding -->
</script>

Hope this helps,
jimmy
