[lug] htaccess redirect by user

[lasten at korinth.com]

I have read through that prior to sending to the list.  Below the tutorial is 
a similiar topic with a subject of HTACCESS.   There was some interesting 
alternatives but still hoping to keep it within htaccess.  Per the other post 
modrewrite is interesting:P I am reading through that today and looks like it 
may swing it through I am thinking its gonna be more work then some of the 
alts to do.

Thanks for your posts back.
