Thanks for the reply but they are referring to a Host Name Alias not a URI alias. i.e. www.company.com == company.com (to steal their example) I require /bar == /foo/bar. I don't believe that mod_alias will work because it operates in a similar fashion to symlinks in *nix. It creates a virtual path to something outside the standard directory structure.
