Rails - Oct 2007 - Setting home

Hi
Sorry for this newb question but I''m stumped and need a point in the
right direction.

Basically I want visitors to go to /home and not /public. If they have
never been to the site I want to redirect them to /public for a welcome
page. I have part of this working. The problem I''m having is setting
the
/home as the default for users that have the cookie.

In my home controller I have:
  before_filter :check_redirect

  def index
  end

  def check_redirect
    if cookies[:viewed]
      true
    else
      cookies[:viewed] = { :value => "1", :expires =>
1.year.from_now }
      redirect_to "/index.html"
      false
    end
  end

Thanks in advance,
Peter

Sorry one more bit of info. In my routes.rb I have

  # Install the default route as the lowest priority.
  map.connect '':controller/:action/:id''
  map.connect '''', :controller => "home", :action
=> "index"
