[ic] rewrite/redirectmatch

[Steve & Patti Getzinger]

I used this when originally posted and works great but you forgot the part about
the images :) Here is a complete from my httpd.conf as done per what was posted
to the list. I asked Bill about the images on initial post and he supplied to me
and posted to the list. By the way this is Apache just for the record.

<VirtualHost 123.456.789.0>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@somedomain.com
    DocumentRoot /path/to/html/root
    ServerName somedomain.com
    ErrorLog logs/somedomain_error_log
    CustomLog logs/somedomain_access_log common
    CustomLog logs/somedomain_agent_log agent
    CustomLog logs/somedomain_referer_log referer
    ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/path/to/cgi-bin/"
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteRule    ^$      /cgi-bin/vlink/index.html       [PT,L]
    RewriteRule    ^/$     /cgi-bin/vlink/index.html       [PT,L]
    RewriteRule    ^/index\.html$      /cgi-bin/vlink/index.html   [PT,L]
    RewriteRule    ^/cgi-bin/vlink/.*   -  [PT,L]
    RewriteRule     ^/.*images/.*   -       [PT,L]
    RewriteRule    ^/(.*)      /cgi-bin/vlink/$1   [PT,L]
</VirtualHost>
