I am having a few probs with mod_rewrite because of the following
phenomena:

If I have this in the .htaccess of my top docs directory

RewriteRule ^foo\.html$ /cgi-bin/prog.pl

Then this works but it is also applied if I access any subdirectory of
docs; unless I set AllowOverride None. (presumably decause all higer
directories are consulted).

Is there some way of turning off this behaviour?  ie can I
redirect/rewrite just from particular directories and not their
subdirectories?

Thanks for any help
