I'm try to figure out how to do a redirect based on the client's IP
address but a search for examples has turned up nothing.

Basically, I have two campuses, A and B, connected by a WAN link.  Our
concern is with Windows service pack updates and other equally large
files because they're huge and the link is small.  Therefore, if someone
from a machine on campus A tries to download a file from the server on
campus B, I want them to be redirected to campus A's server, and vice
versa for clients on campus B.

Use a rewritecond on %{REMOTE_ADDR}

For example on server on campus B

RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR}         ^10\.10          #asume campus A
IPs start with 10.10
RewriteRule /windowsupdate/servicepacks/(.*)
http:/www.campusa.linfield.edu/windowsupdate/servicepacks/$1 [R]

I see my mailer managed to mangle the lines.

#asume campus A IPs start with 10.10
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR}         ^10\.10
RewriteRule /servicepacks/(.*) http:/www.A.linfield.edu/servicepacks/$1 [R]

Hope this is clearer,

Krist
