[users@httpd] Which AllowOverride option gives Redirect capability?

I would like to allow users of my software to be able to set up Redirects dynamically.  Through my software, they will be changing the .htaccess file in a directory with entries like:
Redirect /realestate http://www.theirsite.com/where/their/realestate/doc/is

I have been able to do this when I set the AllowOverride in the VirtualHost to All.  But I don't want to leave it set to All, I just want whatever option I need in their to allow Redirects in the .htaccess file.  I've looked through the AllowOverride documentation (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/core.html#allowoverride) but it doesn't mention Redirect.

Also I might try to get some mod_rewrite directives working in the .htaccess file, too, but I don't know if that's possible...

Thanks for any help.

Each directive in the docs lists an "Override" that tells you what
AllowOverride option is needed.  For Redirect:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_alias.html#redirect
this is "Fileinfo".
