RewriteRule ^(.*)$ redirect and index page trouble.

[Jesse_Smith]

Is there any way to have this code not mess up the index page?

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http-//$1.id.hop.domain.net [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^$ index.shtml [L]

it redirects to

http-//.id.hop.domain.net/

instead of showing the index.shtml file.

Take the L out of the first line

Change those to lines to:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}!index.shtml$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http-//$1.id.hop.domain.net [R=301,L]

You could probably throw the following line in just to make sure:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}!=/ [NC]

[Jesse_Smith]

That then shows the index page at affiliates.domain.com and affiliates.domain.com/index.shtml but doesn't do the redirect at affiliates.domain.com/whatever

Just taking the L out of the first line made the browser go bonkers, searching and then redirecting to some other site!

[Jesse_Smith]

RewriteRule ([0-9a-zA-Z]+)$ http-://$1.id.hop.domain.net [R=301,L]

works.
