I have an index.html file in the server root directory.
When users browse the domain, the index.html page should come first. In that index.html, I have created a link like enter website that links to index.php present in the server root directory to enter the Drupal site. When I click on the Home menu link, it automatically redirects to index.html; I need it to redirect to index.php.

But if the person is coming from an internal link on the site, we don't want the splash content to show up over and over again (otherwise, the splash page would become a nuisance).
