Hmm, OK I looked into this some more and it doesn't appear to be
practical because I have a huge number of destination urls & as I
understand, I'd need to actually list all those in the .htaccess file.
It seems I might be better off doing my own parsing in php which also
would not be easy but then I could direct things more flexibly &
accommodate any number of destination urls. Does this sound right?
