[thelist] Trouble with .htaccess Redirects and a Tip

[sasha]

We had a similar issue on my web sites.  I believe what
you are looking for is "UseCanonicalName".  O'Reilly's
Apache book says you can use it in .htaccess, and by
default should be on (for some reason, ours wasn't on).
Maybe try toggling it on|off?
