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. alex Joshua Zeidner wrote: > > Im not sure about mod_proxy, but if you are using httpd2 you can write > a small mod_perl TransHandler to do the job: > > http://ziya.suzen.net/2007/09/url-rewriting-with-modperl.html > > if you do a lot of web programming, mod_perl is worthwhile learning, > you can do a lot of cool things with it.
