Mod_rewrite magic several things to consider
Yes, it is definitely a voodoo, powerful and beautiful, but still a voodoo. There are several things I had to learn the hard way before I got the hang of Apache's URL rewriting module - mostly trial and error (some stuff I couldn't even suppose existed)

But enough fancy words about it, let's see how it works for real.
