Help with apache mod_rewrite

[Bryan O'Neal]

I can not get this working through Tomcat with Apache2. It looks like I
am going to have to write a servlet filter for this; or rather, my
developer will.

Ok, I lied the whole thing is mute because I can not get anything work
with tomcat. 

Here is the full deal, I have my developers working on there projects
with all the images being stored under /AppDir/Images/Page/image1.jpg
and with our set up of apache forwarding the request through an
encrypted ajp tunnel to tomcat that then forwards the image to apache,
which then delivers it to the user, it is just a bit slow and there is
no need for it.  What I want to do is rewrite it so instead of going to
/AppDir/Images/Page/image1.jpg on my tomcat server it just goes to
/Images/Page/image1.jpg on my apache server.  Any suggestions?

For reasons I don't want to go into, I need to rewrite all references to
/dir1/dir2/ to /other_dir/ so that /dir1/dir2/file.ext goes to
/other_dir/file.ext and /dir1/dir2/dir3/file.ext goes to
/other_dir/dir3/file.ext and dir1/dir2/dir3/dir4/file.ext goes to
/other_dir/dir3/dir4/file.ext, etc.
 
I can rewrite /dir1/dir2/file.ext to /other_dir/file.ext no problem with
RewriteRule ^/dir1/dir2/(.*) /other_dir/$1 however I can not seem to get
it to preserve directories.  I do not mind writing additional rules to
escape the directories like RewriteRule ^/test/([^/\.]+)/(.*)
/other_dir/$1/$2 but that does not seem to work.  Any suggestions?
