[Cialug] mod_rewrite QSA

[Kevin C. Smith]

Since we are asking rewrite questions. What should an .htaccess file
look like on a server using userdir mod. I want to rewrite anything going
to http://www.example.com to http://www.example.com/dir/, but still allow
things like http://www.example.com/otherdir.
