I do understand it. What I did miss, though, was the fact that the R flag
caused a transparent redirect so the rewritten URL would enter the cycle again.

The problem is that I get requests for these URLs:
http://firsthost/somestring
http://secondhost/somestring
http://thirdhost/somestring
All of the hostnames are just aliases pointing to the same DocumentRoot.
So I wanted a simple rule that adds the first part of the hostname to the URL:
http://firsthost/first/somestring
http://secondhost/second/somestring
http://thirdhost/third/somestring
so the extended URLs can be matched by the following rules:
RewriteRule ^first/somestring/?$ cgi-bin/show.pl?id=1234 [L,NC]
RewriteRule ^second/somestring/?$ cgi-bin/show.pl?id=4321 [L,NC]
RewriteRule ^third/somestring/?$ cgi-bin/show.pl?id=4883 [L,NC]
I came up with
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} (first|second|third)
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ %1/$1 [NC]
which works, now that I removed the R flag.
Thanks,
Jan
