I think I found a possible recipe
RedirectMatch ^/$ http://myserver/zs/
Will catch everything that is http://myserver/ and not anything that is
explicitly listed after the first '/'. So I can still access content that I
know the specific url of from '/'
This seems to do what I want but I'm wondering if there is something I'm not
thinking of. If this seems a safe way to go I'd like to implement it with
at {SERVER_NAME} or other parameterized portion of the url -- so the rule
will work the same on all vhosts. Any advice appreciated.
