I'm not sure that symbolic links would solve the problem, since it's not the physical location of the files that matter, but the URL they're served at.
Any request to http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/dtds would be redirected to http://struts.apache.org/dtds What I *think* we need is to redirect everything except /struts/dtds. I'm no httpd expert, but I think something like a RedirectMatch directive might do the trick. Another option might be an Alias, but I have to check how that would interact with a Redirect. I can try out a few combinations if no one has an easy solution. Steve FYI. Below is the current jakarta .htaccess file. I was just going to add another Redirect (Redirect Permanent /struts http://struts.apache.org) to this file. But now I think it will be a bit more complicated. I don't think any of the other Redirects involved dtds, or resources that had to stay at the original URL. (Sorry if the wrapping messes this up a bit...)
