mod_rewrite conflict with other modules

[St...@astrazeneca.com]

Hi!

I'm using the mod_plsql module to be able to run Oracle's PL/SQL Procedures
from the database.
I'm using the Apache shipped and pre-configured with Oracle8i Application
Server.

Now I want to make myself a maintenance function using mod_rewrite to send
some (not all) requests, with destination to the mod_plsql module, instead
to a maintenance page informing users that the site is down for the moment.

The Rewriting works fine for static files e.g
  RewriteRule   ^/sfa/test(.*) /sfa/maintenance.htm

but not when the regular expression matches another module.

Anyone know how to make this work?

---httpd.conf -------------------------
...
<IfModule mod_plsql.c>

<Location /pls>
  SetHandler pls_handler
  Order deny,allow
  Allow from all
</Location>
...

<VirtualHost>
...
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/pls/sfa* /sfa/maintenance.htm
...
</VirtualHost>
---------------------------------------

To start with, you almost certainly want ".*" rather than just "*".

You might also try adding [PT] to the end.
