I care because I have to test again at the top of the rules for the rewritten URIs to say "ok their fine now, get out", or they get screwed up by the re-evluation of the same rules for some instances. I have read further that I need to place the rules inside a <VirtualHost> to prevent this, I used a <Directory.... to my discredit. Unless, this is just a big waste of time, and I should leave it alone and just add my catch rules at the top. I'm fairly new to rewrites so I want to be sure I'm doing it right before adding dozens of new rules. ________________________________________ From: Eric Covener [covener@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, February 08, 2013 9:28 PM To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: internal redirects in httpd.conf On Fri, Feb 8, 2013 at 9:23 PM, Coughlin, Michael J <Michael.Coughlin@xxxxxxx> wrote: > I had many rewrite rules in .htaccess.

Or am I missing something again...... Every rewrite is an internal redirect in htaccess. Other features of the server also use internal redirects.
