Well, I'm still working on it. It did save a little on logging, since the error_log wasn't getting hit anymore. An interesting side-effect was that the addition of those RewriteRule lines hosed up access to my webcal calendar, I was no longer permitted to access the page. I've since removed the lines from httpd.conf. Either I come up with something else, I just let the logs fill up, or I go back to accessing my webserver on port 8192 and close port 80.
