Robots, Query Strings, and Ampersands

[pl12987]

I WANT robots to hit my site for search engine indexing. But I have a dynamic site with query strings. (e.g., mytemplate.cfm?parameter1=x[ampersand]parameter2=y

When the bots go to a page for a URL they have, they escape the ampersand delimiters into [amperand-amp-semicolon] which ruins the URL and throws an exception. How can I intercept these bad URLs and rewrite them to true ampersands so they work?

I tried it on this site, and it worked! The character code got resolved to real ampersands on the fly. Why doesn't it work on my site?
