Joshua, Thanks for your suggestion. > Use <LocationMatch ^/xfer$> Does this mean any URL that has /xfer should be passed along by the Location directive. But i do not see that happening. The example that i gave was a bit off from my actual problem, where the request coming in is http://acme.com/xfer/xfer/Servlet..... To handle this request, i attempted to use <LocationMatch ^/xfer/xfer$> but apache did not recognize the incoming URL as matching this and rejected the request. I am not very fluent in Regex, what am i missing here? > But note also that in most cases, later <Location> sections will > override earlier ones.

I am using the WebLogic plugin module. If i understand you right what you are saying is that if the request coming in has the format /xfer/xfer/1/Servlet, even if there is a directive with "/xfer/xfer" earlier in the Location list, it should be overriden by "/xfer/xfer/1" since it is later in the Locations list. I did not realize that there was a Locations precedence list based on its position within the conf file.
