[users@httpd] 301 redirect with mod_rewrite? Possible to use relitive paths rather then FQDN paths?

["John H. Nyhuis" <cabal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

	I was wondering if anyone has given thought to allowing the use of 
relative paths with the mod_rewrite package rather then requiring full 
paths.  i.e., in the .htaccess file:

"Redirect 301 ./neuro.asp ../neurology.php" (does not work)

instead of:

"Redirect 301 /pedtest/divisions/neuro/neuro.asp 
http://depts.washington.edu/pedtest/divisions/neurology.php";

(does work)

Just asking because our dev->testing->production setup has different 
absolute FQDN's at each spot, and this means the .htaccess file is 
specific to each of the environments.  It would be convenient to not have 
to remember to change the .htaccess file each time a new site version gets 
pushed through the process.

	Thanks,
