Uh - have dirindex.cgi read the httpd.conf file entries? A bit of
overhead perhaps, but something like
$aliasedDirs{$1} = $2 if /^\s*Alias\s+(.+)\s(.+)\s*$/ ;
will make a hash of the aliases, and you only have to do that if an
open on a dir fails ... then a quick spin through the hash to find
the requested dir, and away you go ...
Then again, there's always symlinks :-)
FWIW!
