Ouch! That makes for slow and = complex.

Is there a better way = then?

However, using the old = URLs with parameters does not work. I wonder if this is a = character escape issue, and have tried a few variations but have had no = joy. As an example, what I am = trying to do, but that does not work, = is:
Redirect = 301 /index.php?main_page=3Dindex&cPath=3D28 http://www.domain.com/index.php?page=3Dshop.brows= e&category_id=3D28&option=3Dcom_virtuemart&Itemid=3D36
Redirect = 301 /index.php?main_page=3Dindex&cPath=3D57 http://www.domain.com/i= ndex.php?page=3Dshop.browse&category_id=3D57&option=3Dcom_virtuema= rt&Itemid=3D36

Indeed, that's the point where you need RewriteRule rather = than Redirect[1]. If you have access to httpd.conf, you = should also look at = RewriteMap.

Can you point me at some = examples of RewriteRule for what I'm trying to do above. I've = looked at the documentation at http://ht= tpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/misc/rewriteguide.html, but don't see an = example of this nature. Or am I missing something = obvious?
