I have a format of pages that I want to perform an A/B comparison on using google website optimizer.

the URLs look as follows - the first page I want to compare...

<mywebsite.com>/request1/([a-zA-Z0-9\-]*)_([0-9]+).htm

vs

<mywebsite.com>/request2/([a-zA-Z0-9\-]*)_([0-9]+).htm

the goal page is

<mywebsite.com>/request-sent.htm

How can I set this up in google website optimizer? If it's not possible, are there alternative solutions available for doing such comparison reports online?
