Just while we're on the mod_rewrite subject, could a directive be added to
control what way inheritance is handled?
When using
RewriteOptions inherit
within a <virtualhost> the rules in the virtualhost appear to be run first,
THEN the rules inherited from the parent.
So if you have a catch-all rule at the end of the virtualhost container,
any rewrite rules in the parent are ignored.
My http.conf file would be a LOT smaller if I could ask mod_rewrite to
parse the inherited rules BEFORE the ones in the virtualhost.
something like
RewriteOptions inherit parentfirst
or suchlike.
I tried using an inherited rule allowing a single robot.txt file to be used
throughout an entire 1000+ virtual host setup, but it didn't work for any
hosts that had a
RewriteRule /.* blah
within them.
