The environment variable (which could be a file), of which there are several, will contain a list of (directory) names. Each list will correspond to one of several RewriteRules that will generate a reverse proxy to the location where those directories are stored. (I have it working with a single location, and now I am trying to expand to several.) The lists of directories (which could be environment variables or files) will be generated by the complex script that loads the web site from source information. One possibility is to have the created file contain a series of RewriteConds, one for each directory name. I then might include it just above the appropriate RewriteRule. Is this possible? I am not familiar with include in http.conf. How would it look? If this would work, it certainly seems like the long way. It would be nice of version RewriteCond could just call a shell script that would return a bool. The rest would be trivial. Thanks again for your help.
