Hi,

I am really having problems understand and getting .htaccess mod_rewrite's to work.

What I want is a site that rewrites any traffic that is not from a set number of REMOTE_HOST's or in a set of certain files to always be redirected to /index.html, whether they are in a subdirectory or subdirectory or another file in root.

Okay here's the solution :-

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REMOTE_HOST} =xxx.yyy.co.uk [OR]

RewriteCond %{REMOTE_HOST} =zzz.yyy.co.uk

RewriteRule .* - [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d [OR]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.html [L]

</IfModule> 

Seems to work through tests, but not sure why I need the '-d' rather than a '!-d' ?
