When a request comes in apache does an "early location walk" verifying <location> blocks before the URI to Filename phase (where rewriting takes place) So it should be possible if you use a <location> block. <Location /isp/stats> # Put DBM authentication arguments here .... </Location> RewriteRule /isp/stats /%{ENV:AUTHENTICATE_URL} That is just a guess however, can't try this out myself.
