Help with apache mod_rewrite

[Alex Dean]

Bryan : None of the example redirects you posted really require regular 
expressions.  As far as I can see you want a simple mapping of 
/dir1/dir2 to /other_dir.  Of course I don't know the details, but it 
seems like you're making this more complicated than it needs to be.  Why 
won't a simple Redirect solve your problem?  If it really won't, I'm 
interested in the reasons.
