Hello,
We're running Apache 2.0.52 on RHEL 4.
After moving a site to a new Apache server that has a new file structure,
we did redirect for a customer to keep their old URL working. The
redirection
http://www.dept.some.edu/somegroup =>
http://www.dept.some.edu/long/path/to/somegroup
works fine. They can still see their site using the old URL
http://www.dept.some.edu/somegroup.
However the customer came back complaining about the long URL
http://www.dept.some.edu/long/path/to/somegroup. What they want is show
their site but without changing URL caused by redirection. I call it
transparent redirect.
Is that even possible? If yes, how?
I'd appreciate any thoughts, ideas or pointers.
Start here:

What you want is probably a simple Alias.
But note that it is best not to have two permanent URLs mapping to the
same place. So you should make one URL or the other be a Redirect.
