Apache's mod_rewrite module lets you do some truly amazing things with URL rewriting. Here are a couple of examples of what you can do.
Make it so if someone types + http://www.foo.com/12345, + Bugzilla spits back + http://www.foo.com/show_bug.cgi?id=12345. Try setting up + your VirtualHost section for Bugzilla with a rule like + this:
<VirtualHost 12.34.56.78> +RewriteEngine On +RewriteRule ^/([0-9]+)$ http://foo.bar.com/show_bug.cgi?id=$1 [L,R] +</VirtualHost> + |
There are many, many more things you can do with + mod_rewrite. As time goes on, I will include many more in + the Guide. For now, though, please refer to the mod_rewrite + documentation at http://www.apache.org
