This is what I ended up with and it seems to be working great. RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^users.domain.tld$ [NC] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/horde*$ [NC] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/mail*$ [NC] RewriteRule ^/([^\/]+)(.*)$ /exports/home/domain.tld/users/prefix_$1$2 [L] All of the other domains seem to be unaffected by this and work as expected.
