First I'd like to say thanks for responding.
I understand most of what you kicked out in there. With respect to mod rewrite
triggering before vhost_alias, I was wondering if it's possible to have mod
rewrite just handle the one domain (by a given domain name). That is, can you
limit the rewrite condition to just one domain? I don't know much about regexp
so please forgive me on this...
RewriteMap lowercase int:tolower
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^$
RewriteCond ${lowercase:%{HTTP_HOST}|NONE}
^http://www.averyparticularserver.com$
RewriteCond /exports/home/%2.%3/users/domain_$1 -d
RewriteRule ^/([^\/]+)(.*)$ /exports/home/%2.%3/users/domain_$1$2 [L]
If we limited it to just the one domain, wouldn't virtual still work as
expected?
