A few things (I'm still kind of new to some of this myself).
Check the syntax [PT,QSA] vs [P,L,QSA]
Do you want to proxy the request immediately or let the next handler
process the request?
Do you need to pass the query string to the url or just the zip?
Do turn on the rewrite log and check to see if you are getting what you
want.
Hope this helps!

Subject: RE: [users@httpd] Troubles w/mod_rewrite
I added the RewriteLog directive to the .htaccess file and am now
getting
Internal Error messages. When looking at the error logs, I get:
[Thu Jan 19 13:20:08 2006] [alert] [client x.x.x.x]
/www/vhosts/domain.com/weather/.htaccess: RewriteLog not allowed here
The entry in the .htaccess file looks like:
RewriteLog "logs/rewrite.log"
Any ideas why this may be happening?

Thank You,

Use the RewriteLog to see what mod_rewrite is doing.
