Thanks for the help!
What I ended up doing was creating a directory rule for each (like a
directory rule for /contact) and used the redirect handler there.
I used the html base tag as well and kept the default rule as list and send.
Now things seem to be working fine though I am disappointed I couldn't
keep this more dynamic so the web developers don't have to worry about
asking for rules to be created when needed..

Sorry, I skimmed your message and didn't notice the last bit about why
you don't want to use absolute links. On my personal site
(http://dan.cx/) I use a <base> tag which has href="http://dan.cx/"; in
the live environment and href="http://localhost/dan.cx/"; in the
development environment, which lets me use relative image links that
work correctly. You could always use hostnames (like dev.domain.com
<http://dev.domain.com> or domain.com.dev) in the hosts file for the
dev environment, which would let you use absolute links.

I'm having some troubles figuring out how to get a rewrite rule I
have in a .htaccess file ported over.
The basic ones are working fine it's just the rule we have for
dealing with requests for our CSS and image files from a relative
path.
Those files are kept in the folder
"http://domain.com/includes/images/"; and
"http://domain.com/includes/css"; and we use relative links to
point to them.
When they hit a link for the contact page
(http://domain.com/contact or just /contact ) there is an internal
redirect that points to http://domain.com/index.php?id=contact
This is simple and working fine.
Where the trouble pops up is our includes as the browser is now
looking for http://domain.com/contact/includes/images/logo.jpg
instead of where it really is:
http://domain.com/includes/images/logo.jpg
In Apache we had this handles by the following rule which worked
fine as it was only run once:
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9-_./]+)/includes/([a-z0-9-_./]+)$ includes/$2
This does not work in Cherokee as it seems to keep running the
rule over and over again till it spits out (external was selected
to see output):
http://domain.com/contact/includes/images/includes/images/includes/images/includes/images/includes/images/includes/images/includes/images/includes/images/includes/images/includes/images/includes/images/includes/images/includes/images/includes/images/includes/images/includes/images/includes/images/includes/images/includes/images/includes/images/includes/images/logo.jpg
My question is whether this can be done without resorting to a
rule per subpage or without having to to change our links to
absolute links.
The reason we don't want a rule per subpage is the web designers
don't have access to cherokee-admin to add rules so it's best to
have one or two rules that can handle having new pages thrown at
it as well as pages getting removed. The reason absolute links
aren't used is it's more efficient (or lazy, however you want to
look at it) for doing testing and development before going live as
well as allowing previews for clients.
