Hello,

How many of those do you have? Is it just one or are there many?

quite many

Well, in this case I suggest using "Comprehensive mapfiles" described in FAQ

Can't think of anything better than a simple rule as in the following:

Code: Select all

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteMap mapfile txt:mapfile.txt

RewriteCond ${mapfile:$1|NOT_FOUND} !NOT_FOUND
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ http://www.domain-name.com/${mapfile:$1} [NC,R=301,L]

Your mapfile must be located in the same folder with the rule and the content must be as in the following:

Code: Select all

some/someting-dynamic/numberID/   somethingelse/CAT/some
folder/sub-folder/file     othername/sub-folder/otherName
