Subject: RE: [users@httpd] strange problem with /icons alias and
 FollowSymLinks


Alias /icons/ "/usr/local/apache/icons/"

<Directory "/usr/local/apache/icons">
  Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
  AllowOverride None
  Order allow,deny
  Allow from all
</Directory>

Following this config, you can tell why it wasn't working, there's a
trailing slash at the Alias directive, but no trailing slash at the
Directory directive, this is to avoid browsing option on the icons
directory.
If you'd like to remove the ReWrite use:

Alias /icons /usr/local/apache/icons

<Directory /usr/local/apache/icons>
  Options Indexes MultiViews
  AllowOverride None
  Order allow,deny
  Allow from all
</Directory>

Pretty sure that would satisfy the request.

All the best,
