Rob i ended up getting it working :D

I am not sure about the REDIRECT_STATUS but here is what i do know
about the code

RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^dev\.((.+)\.)ere\.net$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^((.+)\.)?ere\.net$ [NC]
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt|ZendPlatform|assets|zxcv)(/.*)?$
[NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/%2%{REQUEST_URI} [QSA,L]

The second line says that the HTTP HOST must match the pattern
following it, it must start with dev.*.ere.net.

The third condition says that it must start with *.ere.net

The fourth line says ONLY run this rule if the following are not found
in the url.

The last line re-writes the urls so that they all go through /index.php/*/

meaning if i called the following url

http://dev.auth.ere.net/this/is/a/test/
it would be re-written to
http://dev.auth.ere.net/index.php/auth/this/is/a/test/

that would match the second condition.

The issue i was running into is when i was trying to match the following

http://dev.ere.net/this/is/a/test/

it wouldnt see anything since dev. was required and matched so it
would do something like this

http://dev.ere.net//this/is/a/test/

However it is all solved now and will work on our dev domains and
production domains.  Since we are using dynamic sub-domains we needed
a way to route them all to the same index.php file.

Thanks for the response.

Off the top of my head, I think one simple way to solve it is to put
a .htaccess file in each of your "subdirectory" folders that simply
has RewriteEngine On which clears out the rules for that folder so it
won't try to process the rules of the parent folder.

Either that or you figure out how to put a conditional so that it
doesn't match the second time around.

The http://%{HTTP_HOST}/ part of your last rule is causing that.

I'm actually having a bit of trouble deciphering how your rule works
exactly.  There might be a simpler way to do it.  I guess I could
RTFM... but if you've got a second to explain in english, what does %
{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} and %3%{REQUEST_URI} do?
