But you don't need mod_rewrite for this. Assuming you have control of httpd.conf, you can use something like http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/env.html#examples or http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/DisableImageHotLinking Joshua. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
