No, not directly. A few possibilities: 1. Try to do whatever you are doing without an prg: rewritemap. These should really be a last resort for problems that are too complicated to solve in any other way. Of course, since we don't have any details of the problem, we can't help there. 2. Call a php script directly to issue the redirect, rather than going through mod_rewrite. 3. Have mod_rewrite split the request into several different paths and use an independent rewritemap for each path. This could be as simple as RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^[a-n] RewriteRule ... using map 1 [L] RewriteRule ... using map 2 Joshua. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
