[users@httpd] Re: mod_rewrite Scenario Assistance

I've gotten some great feedback on this question, but would still
really like to see some kind of example code to help me get started.
I suspect I'll need to use RewriteBase and RewriteCond in addition to
RewriteRule, but I'm not feeling all that confident in my, ahem,
analysis.

In my case, for any given virtual host, I need everything to go to
landingpage.php *except* for requests to anything in /se or anything
in /bfg (both are aliases - Alias /se /opt/product/version/se).  Can
anyone throw together some simple directives to show me how I might
accomplish this?  I also need to pass along the original URL, but I
imagine I can work that out if I understand the first part well
enough.  The rewrite itself is where I think I'm most lost.

Any similar config examples would be very much appreciated.

Thank you.

happy to post there.

I'm taking over an application that currently includes an Apache
module written to redirect web traffic to one or more virtual hosts.
In looking at what it does, I'm wondering whether I can accomplish the
same thing with mod_rewrite and not have to worry about:  1)
rebuilding the module for each version of Apache and 2) compiling for
multiple versions on multiple platforms (windows, linux, solaris -
currently).

Here's what the module does (and, consequently, what I need mod_rewrite to do):
1.  Operate within one or more virtual hosts, but not necessarily within others
2.  By default, redirect all incoming traffic to a single point of
entry (e.g. mylandingpage.php) which will then redirect as needed
3.  Forward the originally requested URL to the landing page (this is
the part that might be the killer).  Our current module writes a
request header with this info that is read by the landing page.
4.  Accept or allow a list of excluded directories which should *not*
be redirected.  For example, I have a directory "/se" which must be
delivered without first accessing the landing page.

The more I read, the more it seems like this might be accomplished
using mod_rewrite rather than a custom module, but I'd like some
confirmation from others with more experience than I have and, if
possible, a sample configuration that implements such a scenario.

Any insight, suggestions or assistance with this would be very much
appreciated.  Thank you.
