Thanks, Joshua. I'm glad I asked. The ways I was planning to attempt would've been *far* more complex. I had no idea it would be that simple. If I understand you correctly...mod_rewrite does *not* modify the CGI variables? If not, then I probably don't have to pass anything along at all. That, of course, would be ideal. One last question (for now), if you don't mind: can you explain your last paragraph? For me, local referrers still need redirection. This is for a CMS that stores pages as data. The "landing page" is actually a rendering engine that compiles and caches the data as a physical file. I was trying to simplify the example scenario. Even so, I'd like to understand what your final condition is doing. Specifically, the NC portion. I believe the rest is checking the referring URL for anything that is not within the site I'm accessing and redirecting only then. Thanks again. That really was an eye-opener for me.

You don't need RewriteBase unless you are using .htaccess files. You
can also avoid RewriteConf for a simple scenario like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/bfg - [L]
RewriteRule ^/se - [L]
RewriteRule ^/landingpage.php - [L]
RewriteRule ^/(.*) /landingpage.php?$1
The first three rules are rewrite a path back to itself and then end
processing. The last RewriteRule does the real work. I passed the
original path in the query string, but it could also be passed as
PATH_INFO or just fished out of the environment. (Try dumping the
entire environment in you landingpage.php and you should be able to
pick out the original path someplace.) Use the RewriteLog to debug.
I suspect you also have another requirement that you didn't mention:
the internal redirect to the landing page should happen only for
requests that do not have local referers. If so, you need to add
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://mysite.com/ [NC]
before the final RewriteRule.
