Thank you for your response.  I will cross-post that right now.

Same problem.

mod_rewrite :

I'm always nervous when it comes to rewrite voodoo, but I'll review the 
docs and see what I can come up with.

Thanks again for your response.  So you can just have multiple 
"SetHandler" directives?  And it will try from the top to the bottom? 
That seems like the most elegant solution.  I'll give it a shot.
