Writing it by hand for all the different VirtualHosts is what I was trying to avoid. Doing it with variables was the goal, and it seems that is not possible.

You can usually get to the same ultimate result by putting the variables in the 2nd argument and being more clever with captures and multiple conditions, etc. If you can describe what your end goal is, someone here might be able to help construct a ruleset.Thanks. It's quite simple, actually. What I want to do is direct all domains that fall under a virtualhost which has many server aliases to one canonical domain. So, for example, if my canonical name is www.example.com, and someone accesses example.com or example.net (all of which are aliases in VirtualHost block), I want a redirect to be issued pointing to the canonical ServerName value (www.example.com). Since this is already stored in %{SERVER_NAME}, I thought it would be best to use it, because I have this kind of behavior on many, but not all, VirtualHosts. It would save me a lot of time.RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www.foo.com)$ RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://www.foo.com/$1 [R=301,L] This is an FAQ iirc? http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/rewrite/rewrite_guide.html#canonicalhost HTH Tom
