Anyway... The rewrite rule *is* working. Here is the (abbreviated) headers when I request http://telephonebook.com/1 (courtesy FireFox anf LiveHeaders extension): GET /1 HTTP/1.1 Host: telephonebook.com HTTP/1.x 302 Found Location: http://telephonebook.com/index.php?number=1 GET /index.php?number=1 HTTP/1.1 Host: telephonebook.com HTTP/1.x 302 Location: http://1and1.com So you see that the first request is redirected to /index.php?number=1, but that this request returns with *another* redirect to http://1and1.com. BTW, you can test this by requesting http://telephonebook.com/index.php?number=1 directly. Looks like a bug in the PHP script...
