mod_rewrite question

[John May]

To all you mod_rewrite gurus:


I'm using a mod_rewrite rule as follows:

RewriteRule ^(.*)HostedStore.LassoApp(.*) 
$1HostedStore_20030529.LassoApp$2 [R,NE]


to replace "HostedStore.LassoApp" with 
"HostedStore_20030529.LassoApp" in a URL, while preserving search 
arguments.

Right now, I'm using the [R] modifier to force a redirect, to get 
Lasso to process the new URL instead of the old one.  Does anyone 
know, however, if there's a way to get mod_rewrite to have Lasso 
process the new version of the URL WITHOUT having to do a redirect?

Eg: the URL in the browser will still show up with the original 
"HostedStore.LassoApp" in it, but mod_rewrite will replace it with 
"HostedStore_20030529.LassoApp" before handing off to Lasso?

It'd be nice to be able to do this so search engines don't have to 
re-index each time the replacement string is changed (version of 
HostedStore changes).

Thanks for any help!

	- John
