Given what you have described so far, I imagine you're going to HAVE to
move *something*. If you can't move your "Options None" directories
outside of the directory that has mod_rewrite rules in it, then you have
to move the mod_rewrite rules. I haven't twigged as to what you mean
when you say you want to "keep [the] redirect file-based, not URI-based"
or what you mean by "other devices that remap URIs". But I'm guessing
that if you move your mod_rewrite rules somewhere else, like into the
enclosing <VirtualHost> or host block (or maybe even into an .htaccess
file -- urgh), the rewriting will work as intended. If you refuse to do
that,...any takers?
