A quick test, I wrote a rule like yours

   RewriteRule ^/(\d*?/?)wa/(.*)$ /apps/WebObjects/WOMan.woa/$1wa/$2 [L,PT,QSA]

that I'd expect to redirect a URL like this:

http://mydomain.com/wa/entrance

to

http://mydomain.com/apps/WebObjects/WOMan.woa/wa/entrance


aside from using SSL port :443 I don't see much there, I just added a simple 
virtual host to apache.conf.

I'm either misunderstanding the URL that should trigger this rule, or it's not 
working in a way I'm unsure how to debug -

thoughts?
