modrewrite is voodoo anyway! Whew! Well, it seems to me that apache has
up until now reliably read the conf files in order. And, yes what I did,
deeper first shallow last, is working, but darned if I can find anywhere
that states it works this way. This is why I posted to CentOS, because I
suppose a different OS could perhaps cache portions of the data and
maybe get the order reversed.
Thanks for the response. I don't recall spending what amounted to about
10 hours to add 14 characters to an obvious string. Pretty expensive
characters for the client (actually, mostly for me as I can't really
bill for learn time). Then again, my regex knowledge isn't that great,
but it is a whole lot better at the end of that 10 hours! ;)
Thanks,
John Hinton
