[users@httpd] mod_rewrite help

[James DeLude <jd...@trainor.com>]

I'm currently running 1.3.23 on RH 7.2.  The server is running a mixture of
multiple name and IP based virtual hosts.  It appears the mod_rewrite is
already installed in my config:

    LoadModule rewrite_module     modules/mod_rewrite.so
    AddModule mod_rewrite.c

What I would like to do is some simple URL redirections as well as directory
and file name substitutions.  Similar the the snipit below:

    RewriteEngine   on
    RewriteRule /^home\.html$  home.vep [P]

My question is, is this the correct translation to change all requests for
http://www.xyz.com/home.html to http://www.xyz.com/home.vep?  Also, where
Should this definition live?  Should it appear by itself in the httpd.conf
File, in a <Directory> definition, or a  <VirtualHost 192.168.10.10>
definition?  Any help or example configuration files would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jim
