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.
