RE: Can you go outside the .htaccess directory with Rewrite Rule?

I think you can if you used a ScriptAlias or something similar in your
conf to map /cgi-bin to a directory of your choosing.

Subject:  Can you go outside the .htaccess directory with
Rewrite Rule?

If I put a .htaccess file in my webroot with the following rule:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /cgi-bin/scriptname.cgi?action=$1

Can I specify a script file outside the directory with the .htaccess  
file in it (i.e. outside the webroot)?

Example:
/home/myname/public_html/.htaccess (see above)
/home/myname/cgi-bin/scriptname.cgi (I want to call this script via  
the above rule)

Thank you!!
