How about RedirectMatch?
Syntax: RedirectMatch [status] regex URL
Context: server config, virtual host, directory, .htaccess
Override: FileInfo
Status: Base
Module: mod_alias
This directive is equivalent to Redirect, but makes use of
standard regular expressions, instead of simple prefix
matching. The supplied regular expression is matched
against the URL-path, and if it matches, the server will
substitute any parenthesized matches into the given
string and use it as a filename. For example, to redirect
all GIF files to like-named JPEG files on another server,
one might use:
RedirectMatch (.*)\.gif$ http://www.anotherserver.com$1.jpg
