Just a question, but what if you are using .htaccess files to partition things
up for virtual hosts? For example, I am running a server and both Roy and
Bill have sites on it. Since I am a control freak, I refuse to give either access
to httpd.conf, but because I am also lazy, I have allowed both to use
.htaccess files. In that case, don't people need to be able to put <localtion>
directives inside of .htaccess files?
