RewriteRule and Location problem

[Grant <emailgrant@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've set up an Alias to my docroot so that I can have all requests to the Alias restricted to a certain set of users inside of a Location block, and all requests to the real docroot restricted to a different set of users inside of a different Location block.

The problem I'm running into is one of the applications on the server doesn't work with www.example.com/alias/app, it only works with www.example.com/app.  I set up a RewriteRule to rewrite /alias/app to /app, and that makes the application work, but then <Location /app> is addressed instead of <Location /alias>.  Is there any way around this?
